[QUOTE="Rat, post: 124435, member: 1914"] The wood and any transom braces (knees) are what make the transom stronger; a little piece of 12 x 12 Alu. isn't going to do anything really, no matter how thick it is. You would need to run it from member to member (side to side and top to braces) to give it any real strength. I say just patch the hole and put in a good solid transom board and if you are worried about additional strength for an outboard install some transom braces. [/QUOTE]
