[QUOTE="South Sound, post: 446283, member: 4299"] Yeah. Salt is rough. I use the boat it Hood Canal, which has far less salt than most other places on Earth For anyone trying to get the transom out of the Lund there were some things that had to happen. In the compartments on the left and right cut into the bulkhead. Then pop out pieces of foam with crowbar /pry bar etc. This will get you to the bolt nuts. You will also need to remove the side tops, pop out enough foam to get at the bolt nuts. The outboard bolts were the easiest to remove. Get a engine hoist. Harbor freight. Hoist engine. Hammer out bolts. They will fall in the boat. Get them later. Once I got the bolts all out, drill out rivets on inside, I took a machete and worked it along the transom to see if I got everything. Also cut the foam connected to the transom using the machete. I worked it on both sides. The outside is easy, inside is connected to transom. If I were to do it again. I would work the machete on the outside of the interior aluminum. In between the tray an aluminum sheet. That sheet will come out when the transom comes out. There are stringers one on each side below the transom. They are below the bottom of the transom. The transom does not go all the way down to the bottom. Also you need to unscrew the interior electrical screws that hold the connectors in the transom. These are not grounds, just the screws holding anything into the transom from the inside. Once done get an extender (Harbor freight) and spade blade. Drill hole on each side. Dig out more foam from inside. Thread ratchet material up the hole. Connect to beam above. Ratchet and then jump on back. If all bolts, screws are out, it should pop up. You will think you broke your boat. At least I did. It is ok. Get stainless scraper and brush (Harbor freight) I attached scraper to pvc pipe with duct tape and scraped away. Then I used the machete to cut the foam away. It was holding water like a sponge.
