After I got the housing out I had a better look at the transom. From what I can tell the rot only goes about an inch into the starboard side towards the bottom and the same on the very bottom.
I also noticed that the trim pump is full of milk. I guess that means new cylinders for me.
It was really nice to get everything out of the way, and I feel like I am really making headway on this project. Unfortunately mother nature is not going to be very nice for a while. Starting Tuesday we are not supposed to get above freezing until Saturday. In that time frame we are supposed to get an "ice event" in the early part of the week, and "significant snowfall" towards the end. That is just great. It was 75 yesterday and 69 today.
Anyway, that is it for now. Here are some pictures, and a ton of video.
Nice little burn mark on the trim hose
Gimbal off without indecent. Can someone point me in the direction on how to completely take one of these apart. I need to repaint the whole thing.
I cleaned out all the grease and grime to make it easy to work in.
You can see how the previous owner just glopped on gelcoat to cover up any rot
Yep, the transom is gone too. I expected this.
Everything fit perfectly on my engine pallet
