[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 424780, member: 13599"] Dan, here are two cracks in the top cap [ATTACH type="full" alt="top cap.JPG"]88687._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="cap 006.JPG"]88690._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is the pneumatic metal saw that I have and it makes quick work of cutting sheet metal. available at HF and get a couple packs of blades. (the one at HF does not come with blades). [ATTACH type="full" alt="air saw.jpg"]88688._xfImport[/ATTACH] the idea of a simple angle along the top edge will also work fine (for a temporary fix). as for the rivets holding on the 1/2" plywood - just cut them off and use bolts for the new one. yes, most any exterior weatherproof material will work for the outside motor mount. Must be waterproof as that item gets wet a lot while boating. when I install the new transom board into my boat, the reinforced top will take care of the cracks in the cap. I may just put an angle on the top also just for cosmetics. it will have a 1958 35hp Johnson pushing it - so the transom has to be right. . [/QUOTE]
