[QUOTE="Gotem, post: 298431, member: 9901"] If you were not going to weld, here is what I would try. Either prime and paint or seal your wood transom in fiberglass resin. For the smaller holes (and it may work for some of the bigger ones), bolts with washers and marine sealant or silicone should be on the outside and nuts with lock washers on the inside. That will keep your transom secured to the boats nice and tight. For the bigger holes you can try (but I can not guanrantee) to put an aluminum patch over the holes and secure it to the aluminum hull with epoxy or marine goop. Before you put the patch on you may want to use marine goop or epoxy on the wood which is exposed through the hole to sort of seal it in case the patch falls off. The patch should not fall off because the it is on the back of the boat and not on the front. If the patch should fall off, I'm not sure how fast water would enter the boat if the transom is tight against the hull. Goog luck. [/QUOTE]
