[QUOTE="Ghostryder65, post: 513209, member: 35391"] I'm not really a fan of silicone. It has its its uses though. The top of the transom as well as all cut edges and holes will be soaked in thinned epoxy. Then a few coats of regular consistency epoxy. I recently had a thought of using strips of old truck inner tubes where wood floor framing sits in the aluminum ribs. Under the transom cap would be good also maybe. My thinking is the rubber would keep the epoxy being rubbed off of the wood from vibration and hull movement, insuring no water get in the wood. [/QUOTE]
