Transom Thickness?

[johnbo]

Hi folks,

I'm going to have to add a couple of transom eyes to my boat (to accommodate a set of Smart Tabs). I've never drilled through the transom before, so I don't know how thick the transom is.

I have a '96 OMC Cobra/Volvo SX outdrive. I assume that most of the transoms are the same thickness. But, before I order the new bolts, I need to know how long they need to be.

Thanks,

johnbo

Re: Transom Thickness?

You can get a good idea by measureing the bilge drain hole thickness John.

Doh! Don't know why I didn't think of that. I was even looking at it when I was trying to figure out how to mount the Smart Tabs.

Thanks,

Generally,....... Most transoms are 2" thick,........

Just Remember,........
Be Very Sure of What's on the Inside of where the Drill is going to come thru........
