Re: O/T Transom repair

[jerry-ahrens]

Do those bolts that hold the transom brace to the hull have nuts and washers on the underside? If so, I would be worried about that causing a cooling system problem and possible overheating of the outboard. Maybe some stainless carriage bolts with some stainless flat washers [along with lock nuts] would be better. You can seal them all with 3M 5200 sealer, that’s made for use below the waterline. I wouldn’t use silicone as it’s not intended to be below the waterline.
