I have a 1973 Ranger bass boat that requires a transom repair. The rotted transom was pretty evident as the motor was actually cutting into the outer skin of the transom from just sitting in the garage. After reading through the forums for a couple of weeks I decided that the Seacast method would be the most economical decision considering im working on a boat that is 34 years old. I removed the cap directly above the transom to expose the rotted transom using a rotozip. This gave me access directly to the transom and allowed for removal of the majority of the wood which is where im at now. However, i seem to have a problem with removing the wood from the top two corners. I only cut and removed the center part of the cap and did not touch the outside edges due to structual issues, so I have very limited access to the wood that resides in these two locations. Does anyone think it would be ok to leave behind what I cant remove and just pour the seacast in? Due to the elevation of the two corners, I dont think the seacast will even get up into those areas. Also, I feel that the majority of the force from the engine is being distributed into the sides and bottom of the transom. I will try and submit a picture to help clarify the issue. Thanks for any help you guys can offer. Have gotten many greats tips from these forums so far!
