I just removed the transom from one of my riggers as the hardware (particuarly the rudder bracket) was distorted due to the plywood "crushing".
I'm all set to glue a new piece of ply in it's place and I thought I'd make a post and see if anyone has any tips about this problem. Is it worth using blind nuts (T nuts) or inserts in the transom or to just use screws and Nylon insert bolts to hold the hardware in place..
I want to try and keep the weight down too - this boat is also undergoing a diet!!!
Thanks for any advice / hints!
