I am working on my 1985 Bayliner Capri<br /><br />I have a picture of what I am talking about here: http://www.jfnewell.com/boat/transom.htm <br /><br />I am trying to put a picture at the end of this message as well. (hey it worked!)<br /><br />**For those who don't want to look at the picture, my question is; How much wood is in the transom of a 1985 Bayliner Capri? Is it just in the part where the motor-well is, or does it go all the way across the back?<br /><br />Looking at the picture, drawing A, my transom has cracks and movement at the <br />red lines.<br /><br />The previous owner tried to repair by putting a big block of wood as shown in drawing B, and by putting a think mat of fiberglass as shown on drawing C (side view)<br /><br />My assumption is that there is wood inside of the transom itself, and that no matter how much the outside is beefed up, the real problem will keep on causing cracks and damage......<br /><br />So, ultimatly, my question is....Is the wood in the transom (drawing d) like the yellow part, or does the wood go all the way across the back, as in the red and yellow parts?<br /><br />I was looking at the Seacast product, and while it seems like no big deal to open up the transom over the yellow part, get the wood out, and pour in their product.....it does seem like a major ordeal to open up the transom over the red parts.<br /><br />
