I am now ready to install the doubled portions of the transom. I plan to screw the boards together while they dry. The lower doubler and the upper "wings" should not be a problem. However, I have a kit from WCBoatWorks, and the motor doubler is massive! I am thinking I should figure out a way to screw through the transom and up into the doubler, instead of trying to go down through the doubler into the transom. This would entail either putting in a couple of screws and then flipping the entire wetted out transom, or wetting out the motor doubler and then putting the transom down on top of it. In the first procedure I might make some mess, and in the second scenario I might screw up the alignment. The only other option I can think of is to just drill deep - and I might even drill a few extra holes just to keep better seepage into this beast of a board. Chuck, if you are reading this this - you build a great kit!
Any suggestions on this step?
Thanks in advance.
