[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 246791, member: 10"] As far as the transom - REMOVE the old transom and install a new one. Use the old transom as a template. Wood filler does not do anything strength wise. I suggest sealing the new transom with a 2 part epoxy sealer. As far as a TM on the rear - you should be able to make one fit - might have to add a block of wood to help span your gunnel cover. The wires I would also replace - make sure you use marine grade wires (tinned) - I made a simple junction out of an old cutting board and some SS bolts with wing nuts on the top. I could have run the wires direct to the battery but my batteries are stored below the deck so it is a PITA to get to easily to charge and to switch things around Again, get Marine grade connectors [/QUOTE]
