[QUOTE="thill, post: 513035, member: 4972"] It looks like your cap trim may be a little too short, but I think the corner caps will catch any difference. Don't heat it too much when you are bending it into shape, especially if using MAP gas. You WILL melt the typical aluminum stock if not careful. Wear leather welding gloves, if you have them. Good job on getting the new transom in. I've had several transoms bowed out, and it's a bit annoying. Sometimes it goes back and looks good, other times it will have a "bubbled" appearance around the fasteners. Hopefully, yours will look as good as the rest of the boat does. [/QUOTE]
