[QUOTE="thill, post: 516043, member: 4972"] I'm just curious... Is there actually a problem with the transom, besides the missing outer pad? Does it flex or bend or have any actual running issues at all? The torn-out/cracked screw holes no doubt came from the rotten transom that was there before flexing. Welding them isn't a bad idea, but they shouldn't crack any further UNLESS the transom is still flexing with the current core. That core might be tough stuff. You might have a great solution already, and not realize it. If it's strong enough, and it won't rot or change, that's a permanent fix. What drives you to want to replace it? If it didn't have any structural issues, I would add an outer pad and run it like I stole it! [/QUOTE]
