Re: Crack inside transom

So the business that quoted $2600 (& materials) were recommended and supposed to be "the best". Well I agreed to their price and thought I'd get out on the water this season but they were too busy for me apparently. After stringing me along until mid July they ghosted me.... I had some...

Re: Crack inside transom

10-4, we will continue forward with splash well. I experimented with the garden hose pressed firmly against the cracks in the bow and I got water to show up inside the bilge. There is a drain along the keel in the center of that first bulkhead but the length of the keel is covered by a support. As t...

Re: Crack inside transom

The rest of the “pan” below the “basin”. The horizontal crack runs along the only support (perpendicular welded aluminum plate) inside the entire pan. That goes up through the “basin” and it’s welded above it.

Re: Crack inside transom

What I’m calling “basin”. The top rail of the transom with the holes is double thick as the “pan” that extend through the “basin”.

Re: Crack inside transom

quick update: the outboard, floor, and gas tank are all out and a shop and I are working on scheduling. The pan actually goes right up through a catch basin like area ahead of the outboard to the top edge of the transom. It is also welded to the floor section and contains the drain hole. It is almos...

Re: Crack inside transom

Mr Morin:

Thank you so much. That is precisely what I needed for my discussion with my shop candidates. Removing and fabricating a more robust pan is what I will do. I like the spray rail idea too. I will return to post results!
Thanks again
DW & hard way

Re: Crack inside transom

kmorin thanks, I am in the process of selecting the shop to do the work and needed some guidance on the direction the repair should go. At least conceptualize with them and then ascertain whether the shop candidate can do what needs to be done or not.  I am just understanding how to upload imagery o...

Crack inside transom

Good Morning: A google search with the same subject revealed a 10 year old post in here by "giddy" that finished off with the discovery of a crack in the transom of their Alumaweld Intruder.  I'm in "the same boat" as they say!   The cracks are around the bottom bolts that go thr...
