During my routine oil change, I found a huge crack in one of our workboat’s transom. Upon quick inspection, I deemed it critical to replace the original wood transom. We went back with a higher grade marine ply (2 pieces of 3/4” Okoume sandwiched). This job had to be done fast, as this boat is hot seated and sees thousands of hours a year.
Hot sheet of materials/ process:
(2) West Systems 105-C Epoxy and slow hardeners
(2) sheets of Okoume 3/4”
3 layers of 12oz. Biax tabbing for fillets
3 layers of 1708 on transom
Here are some photos we snapped along the way. The boat is in the water had has performed excellently for us.
