Transom repair.
hi all,
in the never ending saga of my refit I am having to repair the transom.
As mine is a weekender it has the moulding on the back, and in it some plywood, well used to be, soggy mess mostly, a po tried to repair years so, drilled and drilled, then filled but it is wasted.
back to the point.
i cut out the inner skin, removed all the wood and then started laminating
i have strengthened the outer sin with several layers of glass, but am wondering if I need to go to full thickness again, I am struggling to see what the purpose of the ply is, I have inboards so not pushing on it.
Are there any experts, or others who know why they put it in there?
