Afternoon Folks, or evening which ever you prefer...I did all I set out to do today.The transom itself is in and rock solid. the only way it's going anywhere is if the whole aluminum transom plate itself comes out. I still need to install the corner braces, and aluminum angle accross the top, as well as trim the excess bolts off with the grinder. Something for another day. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, actually. Here's some pic's of the way it is now. The corner brackets are just sitting there, not installed. Thanks for following the Build thus far. When I get more done I'll be sure to Post it up... This shows the copious amount of silicone on the washer side, not to mention around the stove bolt, in the bolt hole too...
