Anyone ever use this product to fix their transom?

I am working on a winter project that needs a transom repair.

Rob,

I've read of a few guys who used it with varying degrees of satisfaction.How much of a repair do you have to do?.Personally i'm very leery of any kind of stuff that you pour into a transom.

If you have to do an entire transom replacement,it's not as easy as just mixing it and pouring it in.

All the rotted wood has to be removed,and in my opinion,if your going to replace a transom,the only right way to do it,is to replace all the wood core with new marine plywood or composite core of your choice.

I've done a few complete transoms,with new marine ply and new glass.It's not a lot of fun,but done correctly,it will outlast you.

there have been a few articles on seacast on these sites.If you need any infp regarding a good material supplier,and or pictures of some of my transom replacements,i'd be happy to help.

Thanks for the links Big Easy. The transom is not rotted, it was moist.

I already hollowed out the wood in the center. there is a 1/2 inch layer still adheared to the outside fiberglass. I think I'm a good candidate for this product. The boat is 10 yrs old, water was getting in from the top cap of transom above the water line. I am drying the hollowed out area and

prepping with CPES before i use the sea cast.

Yep Rob,it probably will be a very good solution to your problem.I did see a sample of the stuff,and it was amazingly strong.

If you have'nt got one they will send you a sample if you call them.

Good luck with your project.i
