Transom repair

[condorsun]

Hi I am new to iboats and have been using the resto section for info for my transom repair as this is the first repair job I have attempted. I have found some great info so I have signed up to show some picture. One tip was how to start "get the angle grinder out and go for it" .The boat is a 1975 Condor sundance I have had it for 16 years and have had a great time fishing and skiing before retiring it for last 10 years. Last summer I decided if the motor starts, a Chrysler 105 I will repair that rotten transom and it ran great. So here are some pics.First a before pics

I remove the deck just past the well.Made a huge chisle and away I went.

[Made a pattern and cut out the new transom

Fit and glass back in with lots of clamps.

Now to glass the inside

And thats it so far Cheers.

Re: Transom repair

What are you using for your flow coating?

Re: Transom repair

For the pictures it looks like the tabbing does not go very far onto the hull at the bottom. It should go about 6 inches out.I might be missing it. Also you need to grind all paint off (the red) before putting glass on it, or it will not stick.

Re: Transom repair

The tabbing does look that way as the photo was taken before it went off but it does go under further and now I have take your advice thanks.
The flowcoat I used is a non air inhibited polyester coating which i applied to the hull.I mix a red pigmet for the transom.The red is not paint.
When i fit the splash well you wont see the back.
