[QUOTE="mmf, post: 174393, member: 4379"] upon cleaning the inside of the aluminum transom today I found several deep pits that were the product of electrolosis corrosion. One of the pits barely goes all the way through the aluminum. I will clean again, sand rough and apply marine epoxy to these deep pits then apply good zinc chromate primer. After this I will scab on a large piece of the diamond plate all across the back of the transom for insurance purposes. Thought I also would share the use of a sealer I have been using on transoms for quite awhile, it is PL adhesive's roof and flashing sealer in a cartridge tube, this is great stuff when dried, just like rubber and seals everything 100%, much better than silicone. I also apply this to the side of the transom wood that goes against the inside portion of the aluminum and all through bolts on transom. It is messy but worth it for it's sealing abilities. [/QUOTE]
