[QUOTE="Dockside85, post: 254677, member: 8020"] Got the new transom braces in today. The old transom wood was riveted in, so I had to remove all the rivets to get it out. Since I don't have the tools to put back in rivets that size, I replaced them with stainless steal machine screws and washers with nylon locking bolts. Should hold just fine. Each piece of wood has two coats of Helmsman water sealing varnish. I don't want to Steelflex over the transom wood on the back of the transom in case it needs to be removed later on, so I'm just going to put some marine sealing silicone around the exterior and bolt heads to make a watertight seal. I have an aluminum plate that will be bolted in at the top where the motor mounts will sit, I just bolted it all in temporarily to make sure all the holes I drilled lined up with the holes in the transom aluminum. Should be finished up tomorrow. In-laws are in town for Easter so not sure how much I'll get done this weekend! [/QUOTE]
