[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 301862, member: 7544"] I agree that the second picture resembles fiberglass cloth with some sort of resin over it. And the reason the transom is in the shape it's in now is because it wasn't fixed properly the last time someone replaced the wood. Don't waste your time trying to put a bandaide (brackets) on it. Fix it the right way as Ringo suggested and you'll be a lot better off. The cracks in the transom look like cracks in fiberglass resin instead of cracks in aluminum. I suspect they smeared some resin over the cracks trying to strengthen it instead of having it welded and that's why the cracks reappeared with just one run of the motor. Hate to think it about people but they may have done a cosmetic patch just to get it sold. Strip it down to bare aluminum so you can see what the problem is and then fix it right. [/QUOTE]
