[QUOTE="mmf, post: 173581, member: 4379"] I was very glad you posted your transom replacement, I kinda used it as a guide, THANKS, and it was a pain but necessary. With the small width wheel I had on the cutoff tool I was using it was kinda hard to find where the two pieces of metal met at the weld joint and would have been easier with the wider electric right angle wheel like you used, but like you said, I imagine it was harder to hold and control. I am thinking about maybe putting the top plate back on mechanically (using SS bolts and and nuts) instead of having it welded back. I know I can make some splice plates out of aluminum for the sides but I would have to use some angle aluminum at the rear joint shaped to fit but do-able I think. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
