[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 226964, member: 6982"] Thank you for the reply! Glad to finally get a response on the shift rod thing! So to be clear, the bolt you are talking about inserting /after/ the rod is inserted...this is the silver screw in the picture that goes into the brass coupler? Because if so, I had just left it in but loose....almost all the way out but not out. That could very well be the problem...my head doesn't see the issue, but maybe it is a magic thing that is beyond my comprehension...I shall try removing it completely. As far as bringing the transom to the floor, the 13.5 inches will bring it fairly close. The strips are already cut so I will stick to that. For additional stiffness I will cut a couple small blocks, seal them and connect them to the hull with a strong adhesive...this is something they had done previously and I ripped them out as they were rotted. So I will have those plus a much deeper transom than was originally there...should be much better. Planning to do contact cement for the layers adhesive and seal with three layers of spar urethane.
