Transom Trim

[mackbm]

I am replacing my set of twins and going to a single. The aluminum trim around the transom needs to be replaced. Is there any ideas on what I could use for that and where I can get it?

[Capt Chuck]

I tried to replace mine a few ago without success. It seems the angle/bend at the corners required a special jig. I took it to a custom fabricator and got sticker shock

I would build one out of PVC board or get "Strick" to make ya one out of fiberglass and then paint it

I'm tired of making stuff I still have to make a leaning post for this darn boat I'm working on. I wonder if marine connection would have some of that stuff laying around. You may have to cut/heat/bend it or something to make it fit right.

You could grind and glass the seam,paint with gelcoat. Better than covering up with trim.

That is what I did to my Sceptre.

I have both pieces of stock trim for a 23' single motor boat in pretty good shape that I posted a coupld of weeks ago for sale. If your interested, the price was right, free, or maybe toss a couple of bucks toward the CSC site.
If you need pictures or want more info, let me know.

Here are the pictures of the transom trim.




It measures 53" wide at the top, with a 19" wide in the middle with 14" at the bottom where the motor is.
The trim is 1 3/4" wide, and it comes with 2 pieces, let me know if your interested or I will pitch in the alum recycle pile.

Thanks for the offer John but those won't work for me

I'll hang on to it for a couple of weeks, once I get finished with my boat, and clean up, I will toss it then.
