that has needed repaired for quite a while. Sure are easy to remove when they are this bad! Cant believe this owner never lost his motor in the depths of Lake Erie.

Goldnut- All of those Crestliner pics are making me a little nervous, what's the best way to check transom integrity? Open a bilge inspection hole and check for punkiness (made a new word) with an awl?
I'd prefer a more proactive approach, rather than turning around to make sure my E-Tec is still there grin

Big bubbles no troubles at Goldnuts house. grin

Ken if you have a chunk of scrap marine ply I'll cruise over there and buy it.
I used white oak last time and guess what,
waste of time lol.

There are youtube videos on how to check and what to look for. Most use a plastic hammer and listen to how it sounds. A punked transom will give a dull thud.

Ken knows what he's doing. He replaced mine 5 or 6 years ago now and I've had no issues.

Looks like a mess Gold...
I am currently bringing an 18’ Lund back to life that Bucksnbears found for me. Using UHMD laminated for that purpose.
What are you using?

Finsters suggestion works well as will your approach. Also you can remove one of the motor mount bolts (one of the lower ones) and inspect the wood.

Jeff, I do not have any marine grade plywood in the shop. What are you replacing? I do have some composite board around. How big of a piece do you need?
