[QUOTE="ChrisP, post: 236784, member: 7377"] Thanks JD, I appreciate the advice, I am planning on having to take the transom off at some point, my initial trial was with two plywood sheets held together with gorilla glue, unfortunately, I used was too much glue and that led to the board not being the same size due to the glue expansion. I will try again with a lot less glue! Some of the JB weld filled holes are behind the transom and below it which would make them below the water line. I have read that I should have just used 5200 instead of JB weld but that just looks fugly so I am looking for another way. I have heard of aluminum brazing rods but not sure I have the talent to make it look decent! Looks like I might have to "fill" the holes with short stainless bolts, nuts washers and 5200. I am not in any "trade" As you can see from all my mistakes, except pencil pushing so everything is a learning lesson and anything I do is an upgrade! Thanks again for the advice, truly appreciate the input. [/QUOTE]
