[QUOTE="Zberry1985, post: 481326, member: 25580"] I'm going to be replacing the transom on my 1542 Monark and just want to make sure I'm going about it the right way. there is a bulk head that I need to remove to get at the transom. the bulk head has some large rivets and a small weld holding it in place. first question is where can I find the large rivets in the photo or can I use some regular popgun rivets here? there is also a small weld in the corner that I assume I'll have to cut off. do you think I can put it back together without welding it or could i use some rivets instead? I'm guessing that I'll just have to use my judgment once I have it back together and feel how solid it is. final question is what are some good options for transom material? I have some high quality 7 layer 3/4 plywood I can use. I see it's recommend to coat the plywood in resin, is bondo fiberglass resin ok to use or should I be using a specific brand? [/QUOTE]
