Help I cracked my transom

**tim** · 02-12-2019, 10:34 PM

I was running down the lake and hit something with my motor and for sure cracked my transom. I have insurance but don know where to take to get it fixed. Any ideas and how should I proceed. I just hope I didn't hurt m lower unit. Also hate to use my insurance because preminums will go up any ideas thanks Tim.

Is it an Aluminum or a glass boat?

Glass

Depending how bad the crack(s) is I would buy some fiberglass resin and cloth and lay down 2 layers of cloth and resin over the bad areas. Then monitor the transom and see how it does.

It has some play in it I think it will need replaced. Does anyone know who does a good job in the Tulsa area?

They are the best anywhere and it will be fixed right the first time. Hopefully you have insurance with a fairly low deductible. Cheaper than a new boat.

Yes it will be cheaper than a new boat for sure

If insurance will step up and treat you right and you only have a deductible then I would fix it; if insurance will not treat you right then I'd be looking at putting that $8K into a different boat, that would go along way towards a new purchase, or probably about cover a nice used one.
