I have a 85 Johnson 150 HP engine torn apart , what year is yours? And what part do you think you need?

it's looking good, i do have a question , you used a chainsaw to hollow out the rotten wood, did you go all the way to the edge?

great job i was wondering what you use to fill the void between the inner transom skin and outer skin? the transom is three pieces of plywood with the outer pieces at a angle from center piece. (currently rebuilding my 86 V20 cc transom ) thanks

Well , after a long break , the weather starting to cool off here in Tampa. Started back on my transom repair. 16 inch chainsaw and 1 1/2 auger drill bit, I got to do some rotted plywood removal. Liked the auger bit better along with a wood chisel. Still having issues with wood removal at...

Thank you will do tomorrow Much appreciated

Well, I finally got the motor well out last night, it was a bear. I had to cut out one of the bait hatches out just to get it to move forward and use a multifunction tool to cut out the bottom of the well from the inside. The wood was rotted all the way down.

Well , I already made the cuts into the hatch, and I will go ahead and replace the transom. Unfortunately I can't work on it today ( rain storm) and won't be able to for at least a week.

Well I finally got a chance to work on my transom. I cut it just like shunkwork's video, and it was rotted in the centers so far. Have to work on it some more tomorrow.

Well I did a few videos on my water damaged transom, using the hammer, drill, and moisture meter. It is showing sighs of water damage near top of motor well area , topside near rear of both storage doors, and in other areas. Below are the you tube links, . https://youtu.be/YR1I62BBfe4...

thanks everyone , will look into skunkwork's method, i seen that a few times on you tube. and trying to see what materials i will need. boats in storage, will do thump check when i get over there. will get back to you all when i start thanks again jet

I was wondering is it better to remove the back skin of fiberglass on the transom and then the rotten plywood and replace with Coosa Board and then reglass? I currently have everything remove on transom (engine, platform) except the new tabs I installed. ( have to fight that 5200 on the trim...

well, as i was installing my Lenco trim tabs, to the transom of my 86 v20 cc, brown water came out of the drill holes. When i purchased the boat i did check for flexing on the transom, and when i removed all the hardware from the swim platform, engine mounting bolts, i didn't noticed any rot...
