Transom

« **on:** July 03, 2013, 10:31:28 AM »

Well I have stripped all the old wood out and make a template out of construction foam and I was noticing that it was hard to get it behind the stringers to get it in to see if it would fit so I guess my question would be is it ok to cut the wood in half and glass it in that way or does it need to be one pice ?
And how thick of would would you recommend for this I don't have any weight to the transom except my pump .

i had to cut mine...

you can see the gap inbetween the stringers and transom (i have an i/o so i need a 2 1/4" transom... you wont have this problem)

my first piece went in solid

but my 2nd piece wouldnt fit with the lip on the top of the boat so i cut a small section off the side to get it to fit

then it got all glassed in

since yours is a jet and you're not doing it for strength just something to attach stuff to i dont see any reason why u couldnt trim it to get it to fit, its going to be VERY snug. 1/2 or 3/4 ply should be plenty. just be aware when you pick out screws to bolt stuff in.

it looks much better than the old transom

How did you get the first pice in , in one pice I think u might have a bigger gap between your stringers and transom
