Let's of transom threads here. Look them up and do some reading. Some quick points though, you will want plenty of ppe. Tyvek suit, P100 respirator (preferably full face), disposable gloves, safety glasses, organic vapor filters for the respirator. It will be extremely itchy, messy, and fumey.

And feel free to start your own thread if you want.

mike it appears that is an aluminum. OP, please specify but same as he said - lots there to look at. Do you know the model and/or can you pls post a pic of the whole boat so we can help you with that.


there are lots of 'hacks' out there but wod, properly done, is your best bet. It appears the aluminum top cap has been lost and it was just painted over so whatever you do when you are done fix that.

I didn't look up the model. Lunch time was running out.

Fiberglass StarCraft = itchy mess. Aluminum StarCraft= relatively easy. Remove trim and end caps, un bolt/ un screw everything. Remove drains and plug bung. Pull old out, trace, cut, replicate new. Seal, install and reverse process.
