[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 277748, member: 3140"] I forgot to add that I also cut new wood for the transom. The old wood was soft and rotted. New stuff is half inch birch wood, I had it mounted just for mock up/pics... It's not exactly lined up or mounted correctly in the pics... It will sit even when formally mounted. I also cut off the little extra chunk hanging off on the right side of the back piece. I took them off while I paint because I think I want to keep the natural wood look and just seal the wood. Not sure yet, might end up painting it.

If I add a larger motor in the future, I may replace the inner wood but we'll see! I'm looking for a quick dry sealer to use on the four lower below the water line transom bolts! I really rather not use 5200 and wait the 7 day cure time before I can take the boat out again! (granted I'm going to give the paint two days to cure). Any suggestions?
