Skinning the transom and installation.

Here are some pictures of my last coat of resin on the side that will be glued to the boat. I went ahead and put a layer of mat on it and wrapped it around teh backside.








I first cut the hole for the outdrive and used a 1 3/4 holesaw to cut the relief for the steering.





Dry fitting. Yes the top is a little crooked. My mistake, but it does not matter.





I used my 1/4 tile trowel to spread out the PL glue





I then clamped it with 2X4s and all thread, along with some regular clamps.





In this picture you can see behind my transom to the tunnel. I am going to glass to this and wrap around to the front. That should make it super strong.











Once I took the claps off, it was solid. I let it dry for 48 hours.
