[QUOTE="itiger, post: 279073, member: 9741"] Hi, I have an exactly same boat as yours and am planning to replace the transom. Your post is so helpful. I still have a few questions though, and definitely appreciate your clarification. Q1: I see you used stainless steel bolts and nuts to replace the aluminum rivets. I believe you are using the same size as the rivets. How do they work? Q2: In the following image 1 (I copied your images and put marks on them just for demonstration purpose, if you don't mind), how did you handle the drain hole before and after? Image 1: https://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy214/maoba/tx_tracker.jpg [img]https://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy214/maoba/tx_tracker.jpg[/img] Q3: In image 2, I see you bend the two corner pieces. Did you cut the aluminum so you can pull them up? Did you weld them after the whole job? Will the strength be weakened? Image 2: https://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy214/maoba/tx_tracker2.jpg [img]https://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy214/maoba/tx_tracker2.jpg[/img] Thanks a looooooot! [/QUOTE]
