Hi<br /><br />I have a used Campion 505 Allante O/B from 1997, and have a problem with the transom. There has been water standing in the boat before I bought it and the transom (plywood) seems soft. I can see it around the outboard bolts and have made a hole. The plywood seems warm, moist (wet) and crumbling. <br /><br />I have some questions:<br /><br />Is it possible to repair the transom/the plywood in the transom?<br />How difficult is it? - do you have some instructions?<br />How do I get the old wood out open the transom top and hook it up or remove the glass fibre on the inside and take the bad wood out and replace it?<br />Do I have to use special epoxy fillers to treat the wood and fill in after replacing the transom (to avoid air chambers)? <br /><br />I plan to repair it like this: Remove the outboard, take the deck/top of the boat off to get access to the transom, remove the glass fibre on the inside (in about width) and take the bad wood out. After that make a replacement transom in plywood, fasten it on the inside to the outside hull and reglass it with two or tree layers of glass fibre on the stern again.<br /><br />I hope that you have some advice. Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Best regards <br /><br />Henrik
