[QUOTE="thill, post: 513312, member: 4972"] Silicone is good for that application because it is waterproof, shock absorbing, and it can be removed later, if needed. I would not put anything more tenacious in there. EPDM rubber or inner tube might hold water between the layers in the transom, but is a GOOD idea between the wood and the metal ribs. I use strips from a roll of EPDM roofing rubber, as it's easier than inner tube. You should NOT have so much movement in there that the soaked-in epoxy rubs off! [/QUOTE]
