[QUOTE="Windman7, post: 299085, member: 7996"] Thanks for the suggestion of treating the transom metal. I was inclined to coat it with epoxy for protection and sealing. Does the aluminum need to be chemically treated to eradicate the corrosion. I have wire brushed it to the aluminum but the pitted areas still have corrosion in them. Thanks for the instruction on the 5200. I wasn't sure how much to apply, but I'm guessing I will use it liberally. When they welded the transom, I didn't like the patch on the inside. Saw another fix on here that looked the same. I guess that is part of it. I think they overheated it some, because it has some warpage. I'm sure the wood will flatten it as much as possible. [/QUOTE]
