[QUOTE="mossberg, post: 513994, member: 34778"] What is the best method to bend the aluminum at the back of the transom (the hull) so that it is all flush with the shelf that the transom sits on or does it matter if it's not perfectly flush? None of the rivets are located where the warps/gaps are (rivets are located everywhere the transom isn't warped, which is likely why it warped in these two locations). I'm reinstalling the aluminum bracket/shelf the transom sits on (with aluminum rivets) and will be installing an all-aluminum transom. As you can see in the photo, the transom is warped outward to the left and right of where the outboard mounts to the transom. It's a 1988 Bass Track Pro 17. Any advice or don't worry about it?
