[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 499238, member: 31103"] I saw this vid just the other day: [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RWKbvd4Qns']Wayne the Boat Guy replaces a wood transom in a small tinnie[/URL]. If it was me, and it's not, but if it was, I'd replace the plywood. The linked video shows a situation very similar to yours, though perhaps his plywood was a little further gone than yours. The video also shows how he dealt with the bracing. It's going to be tough to determine the real condition of the plywood that is facing the aluminum without putting eyes on it. It will also be impossible to seal that backside without removing it. Obviously, if you remove it, you'll replace it. Edit to add: Unless each hole was properly treated, every one of those holes in the transom was a path that water could follow to get between the aluminum sheet and the plywood, not to mention a path into the interior veneers for decay.
