Hi i am changing out the transom on my 1994 princecraft super pro 196but having some difficulty. The top rail that needs to come off to access the wood is tucked underneath the side walls which has a lip that rivets the 2 together. I took the rivets out hoping I could bend this lip and sneak the rail out but it’s solid and won’t really straighten. I was going to cut the top rail and repair it later but if the transom wood goes all the way to the corner I won’t be able to get it out. Also all the Philips screws along the outside of the transom that need to come out appear to be bolts as they are just spinning. The problem is there’s so much foam I can’t get to the nuts on the inside. Im not sure if I should just hack it all out and replace the foam or is there a better way to attack this. The depth of thefoam is 14” and prob 2-21/2ft wide on each side of the motor. I’ll attach pics any advice helps. Thanks in advance.
