[QUOTE="richg99, post: 447283, member: 4376"] Just a guess on my part, but I'd assume that the transom was replaced at one time with new wood. All of those screws were placed there to affix the metal to the new transom wood. I'd wiggle the transom to look for any movement. If none, and since it is a "project boat", I'd coat the top of each screw with a Paintable Sealant ...........(3M5200 doesn't take paint very well, but would be my choice if you aren't concerned about the outward appearance)..... and leave well enough alone. If water is getting in, I think that the transom wiggle would show it. [/QUOTE]
