Inner transom skin ideas.

[Moep43]

Hello all I have replaced the transom in my 17.5 sylvan. I also need to replace the inner skin as the one I took out was all sorts of ate up from corrosion. I was thinking some sort of plastic sheeting would work good.

Any thoughts? After all the inner skin is just to protect the transom wood from sum and water..

I was thinking about the 4x8 sheets they have a the depot for bathroom and kitchen walls I just don't know how it will hold up to the sun..

Has anyone ever gone this route?

I would give it a coat of SE primer, primer and Rustoleum oil paint.

One vote for aluminum sheet or plate.

Thought about using some of this HDPE for my project. Never did, but looked interesting...

I used some diamond plate I found at the scrap yard. I had to use the grinder to take some of the treads down a little where it goes under the lip
