[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 418649, member: 13702"] You've got a picture of soggy plywood that's starting to de-laminate - your issue isn't a simple sealant repair anymore, the structure of your riser and/or transom in that region is compromised to an unknown extent. Only way to find out how bad it is will be to pull it apart. It isn't rocket science - you've got a few layers of metal and wood held together by bolts and perhaps a few rivets/welds all encased in a disturbing amount of goop. Unbolt the motor, scrape the goop off and see how bad everything really is. You don't want a sponge with a goopy band-aid applied to it connecting your motor to your boat. [/QUOTE]
