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"

what are some ideas to rebuild my transom on my aluminum jon boat?

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
