[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 428489, member: 13599"] [b]did that bolt hold the wood transom panel to the metal hull ??[/b] I am replacing my wood transom panel now and will use 5/16 - 3/8" stainless and brass bolts and stainless fender washers to button everything up. Also, there will be two 1/2" stainless bolts through the motor bracket through the transom. with motors over 25hp I would be leary of any transom fastener 1/4" or less. Also, it is not recommended to glue the wood transom panel to the metal hull. Just bolt it up and seal accordingly. what I have done in the past is to use 3/8"-1/2" stainless carriage bolts and grind off the square shoulder under the head. Being careful not to cut past the thread depth to compromise the holding power of the bolt. you only need 4-6 per transom if you use two through the motor mount bracket. Large stainless fender washers on the wood side of the transom. Cut off the excess bolt after it is securely bolted down.
