[QUOTE="deermaster, post: 71703, member: 1109"] this is what i found under the wood on my 1963 starcraft. all the bolts had been replaced with regular steel bolts, and two drains for the bilge pump were made from copper :? :shock: :evil: sooo, as you can see, the entire transom has corrosion and pitting, but around the bolt holes is are the worse places. the corners have very little to no pitting. the thickness of the transom was 1.5" with the original wood, 2 sheets of .75" ply on the inside. should i put one piece on the inside, and one piece on the outside, sandwiching what little aluminum is left, or put both pieces inside, and use large washers on the heads on the outside? or should i scrap it? thanks, mike, starboard [img]https://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp27/deermaster2008/105_5059.jpg[/img] port [img]https://i394.photobucket.com/albums/pp27/deermaster2008/105_5060.jpg[/img] as soon as the sun goes down i bit and there is no glare, ill take some pics of the corners.
