[QUOTE="kdeitrick46, post: 499358, member: 33418"] So here are a few pics of the transom replacement. To accommodate the side profile, I made a rectangular piece of plywood that would fit between the gunwales and the thrust stringers. I put this rectangle temporarily in place and then made the transom end profiles of solid white oak and splined them in place to the rectangle. After glue had dried, the assembled transom was bolted in place using pre-existing thru-hull holes. This procedure kept to a minimum river removal and sheet metal disassembly. The aluminum cap and pads were pretty straight forward cut and fit and again using pre-existing hull holes. I did silicone all hull holes and any place I thought water might get to the wood. All the wood was sealed and polyurethane spar varnish applied. [/QUOTE]
