New Transom Using Seacast

[skippertee]

In our research we found nothing to restrict the size of the transom. I understand that 23 and 25 foot boats have been done.

I measured mine into the corners and down to the bottom of the center - 20" - would I just dig out the rest with the chisel??

Yep ... Then use a shop vac to suck up the pieces.

Hey Dixon......the more rotten the wood the easier to remove!!! I poured my transom and it's ALL in the preperation, the pouring is easy.

There is a local guide in my area who rebuilt his 22 Mako and used Seacast for the transom. He did a great job documenting the entire project including video. Here is the link to the page with a couple of videos hogging out the transom.

Enjoy!

Is there any way to funnel that stuff to the bottom to kind of 'bottom fill' it maybe take care of some of the air bubbles? Thinking that might be the route on my Cruisers?

I put the caps back on, so there is little seacast exposed, but washed areas and have wiped transom with interlux 202 and acetone.

Can seacast be used to redo a 20" transom and raise it to 25" ? Will the styrene blush cause bonding issues in the exposed 5" of seacast resulting from raising the transom ?

Take a look at the links above. Before they poured the transom they created a mold for a modified notch. I guess they figured it would be safer if they raised the surrounding area to let in less water.
