[QUOTE="Scott Mac, post: 297978, member: 10360"] Not sure if you are aware but pressure treated lumber is not compatible with aluminum. Something in the chemicals that are used in the treatment will pit and attack the exposed aluminum. I only found this out as I navigated this site. I believe the census is to use exterior grade plywood and treat it with "Spar" wood sealant. I would hate to see you go through all the effort to end up with a transom that has similar issues that you are currently dealing with. Good Luck on that repair. [/QUOTE]
