Hi guys,
I am pulling my OB motor off my 1977 18' Holiday to replace the board that goes in between the motor and the outside of the hull due to rot. The transom on the inside has one soft spot where a PO mounted something ( 4 random threw bolts that now hold on nothing ) and did not seal it up properly and I am debating on replacing the transom also while I have the motor off.
I have researched a couple of threads that deal with this but still have a couple of questions :
1) Was the original wood transom glued to the outside skin or was it just threw bolted in a couple of places to hold it in place ?
2) If the majority of the wood part of the transom is still in good shape, how hard is it to dig / slide out with out removing the splash well ?
Many Thanks,
