Need help on healing transom

[esoxesox]

Hello Boys,

I finally got around to getting my engine hauled off and tackled the transom tonight. To make a long and painful story short, I hired a guy to rebuild my transom (sadly before I discovered this site). He did a complete hack job and I am not feeling too compelled to take it back to him for a second time. Last year small cracks developed in the transom. I noticed them while on a 10 day trip into Canada so all I could do at the time was spread some 5200 on it and let it go. When I got home I pulled some off and noticed that there was no glass on the transom cap, just epoxy. I have it sanded down to wood right now. It is still strong and is not delaminated at all. It does feel damp to the touch in one small area near the starboard corner. I am standing by with supplies in one hand, wallet in my pocket and a hand in the cooler grabbing for another bottle. What do you guys recommend here? I'd like to get her done up this weekend so I can be on the water next week. Is that too agressive?


Thanks,

Scot
