[QUOTE="Gregory828, post: 291056, member: 9421"] Finally got around to taking the engine off, and boy was that a struggle. Broke a clamp bolt in the process. Oops. We had an even bigger struggle getting the transom plate off to reveal the wood, and boy was that a good idea, it was in pretty rough shape. And probably the biggest struggle (no one said modifying boats was easy) was fighting with the stubborn bolts to remove the bow and corner caps. All in all, we have a lot of corrosion to clean up. Thinking we're gonna sand down the caps, patch with jb weld, etch prime, paint. We were wondering if it would be wise to paint all the trans aluminum before putting the wood back in to keep it from corroding any more. It already has some major pitting in it. Thoughts? And if we do this would it be a bad idea to use marine ply wood if all the aluminum around it was painted? or be safe and just treat some regular ply? [/QUOTE]
