Boat,
Looks to me you need a new transom. Please use marine grade plywood & epoxy grade laminating resin. My first transom failed because I used
cheap materials. I laminated plywood & used woven roven type glass cloth. I saturated the wood & next placed the cloth, wetted the cloth & added another layer of wood & clamped. I did this a few times to get the thickness I needed. Everything went well except I used the cheap resin & wood. I drilled a few 5/16" holes & used all thread to clamp in the areas where a clamp would not function. Oh don’t forget to wax the bolts so you can remove them later. Get a cheap candle & heat the wax then dip the hardware in the wax & let cool before using.
