[QUOTE="minuteman62-64, post: 374213, member: 15157"] I had the same thing on my transom skin. Plywood backing for transom was definitely not PT. A little research indicated cause might be unsealed plywood (regular stuff, not PT) picking up moisture. Moisture leaches out stuff from the glues/resins and corrodes from inside. Don't know if that's correct, but seemed reasonable in my case. My holes were pinhole variety - fixed nicely by scuffing to bright metal, wiping w/acetone and plastering a thin layer of MarineTex over. [/QUOTE]
