I pulled the transom from my boat today so I can rebuild it as the wood was rotting. I have a few questions though just to make sure I don't mess anything up. I am going to ask my questions based on the pictures in my thread.
Picture 1/2- Is this the Electrolysis or whatever that I hear people talk about occasionally? What causes this? Is it okay to replace that rivet with a bolt when I put the new wood in?
Picture 3/4- Does this look like the right type of wood and sealant for doing the transom wood?
Picture 5/6- Does this look right? Never really took note, do all transoms have a wood piece on the outside like this? Is it just to protect the aluminum from the motor hanging on it?
