[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 263244, member: 166"] Looking at your pics, I would grind of the head of the rivets with an angle grinder, knock them out with a punch, then carefully remove enough of the metal to get the old wood out and the new wood in. Once I fitted the new wood and drilled the hole oversize, I would seal the wood with marine epoxy, including the holes, then re-drill the holes so they are sealed too. Once that's done, I'd buy stainless steel bolts/nylock nuts/washers and use 5200 to seal the holes. That would be a great repair and would last a very long time. If it ever failed again, the stainless steel bolts would make it easy to replace the transom next time. [/QUOTE]
