So when I gutted my transom the old cap got destroyed so I followed the post on here where a guy was redoing a tracker and he used 2 piece of angle to fabricate a new cap. My new transom is completely sealed in epoxy resin and it will be getting a coat of paint as well since it is exposed to the sun in my old lowe. My question is on some other forums I have seen a few references where guys said they put a sealant on top of the wood where the transom cap rested on, most references were for 3m 5200. Is this step needed? From what I could tell people where doing it to give the top of the wood more protection because they claimed that water got trapped in the top under the cap and it rotted theres out which is why they replaced it and its why they put sealant under the cap when rebuilding. Any thoughts?????
Thanks
