[QUOTE="Howard, post: 151029, member: 3395"] I did a water test on my boat today and I was pleased. Only a few leaks that can be fixed easily with some tig welding. But I discovered some issues with the transom that has me concerned. There are places where the aluminum seems to be thin and dissolving. Almost seems like its from the inside out. I can see a 1/8 inch hole and stick a 1/4 inch wide flat head screw driver in it and then rotate it to ream it out and what appears to be white powdered falls out. The wood behind it is solid. Hoping the chemically treated transom wood is not eating it away. Has anyone seen this? [/QUOTE]
