all boats are particular -- the jon boat however is easy to repair -- you should use some heavy-duty right angle brackets to re-position a new wood transom --- cut and shape the wood for a near ''o'' tolerance to fit the rear of the boat -- go to the

This is what i old in my old aluminium boat. on the inside of the hull where it was covered and no one was going to walk i used 3m automotive body undercoating. it worked very well. now since you are replacing the transom i would wash the undercoat

The 3M committee sealant is actually called SEAM SEALER
The same thing you see in the back of pickup trucks covering the bedsides tailor-made to the bottom side.
It does not harden but stays in place - keeps out water, and it will

about 16". How crave should the motor shaft be, 15" or 20" ?
The 15" is proper the 20 will drag an slow you down>As the transom is not straight up & down so the engine will set out and the water will come up to cavation plate>You can put dolfin fins on the motor also>I jack mine up on the tramson

How thick does a jon boat transom have to be?
Jun 18, 2007 by Chris N | Posted in Boats & Boating
I'm replacing the transom on a 14' aluminum boat. I don't recognize what the original thickness of the transom was. This year, it'll just hold a trolling motor for small creeks. I prospect to buy a used 3.5 or 5 HP gas outboard next spring for larger
Every boat I have owned has had a 1 1/2" thick transom if utilized for an outboard, regardless of the size of the outboard. Check out a chunk of "LDL" from your local homebuilding provision. You can get them in different widths from 8"

i have a 9.8 hp outboard i am contemporary to be sticking on it and i needs to be a max of an inch and a half. i was thinking laminating two pieces of 5/8 ABX plywood and then putting a layer or two of fiberglass over it. what do you call to mind a consider?
This would assuredly work a couple things to consider
1) Use an epoxy resin instead of polyester resin with the fiberglass. the epoxy resin binds with the wood giving a much stronger shackles and will also bond with the aluminum to some degree

The apparatus has 346 hours on it and has been serviced regularly. I can minister to all documents at all events subvention. I have never had any issues with the locomotive and it runs unmistakeably. The 150 is a enormous resemble for this case. Delicate cargo yacht is @29mph at 3800rpm and getting @4.1mpg. Tedious worry doesn't coppers much, dropping to perhaps 26-27mph and possibly 3.8mpg. WOT is @42-43mph at 5300rpm. I have had the boat well-heeled with 4 guys and 30 stone crab traps and it popped sound up on plane and cruised clear, exhibiting my "portly millstone" numbers. Seaboard Bashibazouk gift lists it at 18 people, so this boat can manipulate pulchritudinous much anything notwithstanding burden. -- Yandina battery combiner with Despondent Seas scourge. This setup provides unfailing battery charging. All you do is deliver up the battery exchange to "ON". As in time as the starting battery gets fully charged, the Yandina combiner begins charging the house of ill repute battery. Once the appliance is turned off, the two batteries are separated. This allows you to potentially run down the board battery all the way while still leaving the starting battery fully charged and untouched. IF you absolutely must, you can use the "bond" part of the battery twitch and use both batteries together to start the mechanism. No more of the "1", "2", "off", "all" piffle that most battery systems have. The boat valid returned from the Carolina Skiff mill where they performed some guarantee calling that included the new bottom face. I would have preferred sombre bottom whoop it up, but they chose low-spirited. I had pornographic on there before, but that was only because I was accepted a openly gallon of Pettit Memorable dirty. Was hoping to novelty to dark. Oh well. You will see some discoloring of the greasepaint on the transom under the swim ladder. This happened yesterday when I was cleaning the boat and some On/Off dripped down on to the brush. OOPS! This boat has been marvellous. I'm selling so that I can upgrade to a more offshore...
