[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 506588, member: 22613"] I haven't really heard of it being used on aluminum boats. It's more geared for glass boats, where replacing the transom requires an extreme amount of labor. Although in your case, I don't think it's a bad solution if you could get all the wood out. With that four stroke and the jack plate, you need a lot of strength back there. Are there any boat repair shops close to you that might carry or be able to order the liquid and save you the shipping? Whoever buried a wooden transom in that mess needs a punch in the face. If the float pods are the only hold up, it wouldn't be a huge deal to cut a 4" hole in them for access and have a welder patch them back up, shouldn't cost much. Perhaps you could cut the hole in the top side and add a threaded waterproof porthole there for future access, they are available in many sizes and are pretty inexpensive, may come in handy later as it allows you backside access for installing transducers and such.
