How do I know if my transom is rotten?

Watch for flex when you trim or accelerate, cracks around the motor mount, soft spots or water stains near bolt holes. If you see any of these, bring it in for a look.

Is it safe to keep running a boat with a soft transom?

A soft transom can crack or fail under the motor's load. We recommend having it checked before you keep running it.

Does the motor have to come off for a transom repair?

In most transom repairs the motor needs to come off. We'll tell you after we look at it.

Is an older boat worth a transom repair?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We'll give you an honest answer for your boat.

Why the transom matters

The transom holds the motor's weight and thrust, so a soft transom can crack or fail under load.

We'll tell you honestly if the repair makes sense for your boat.
