M_Boats: M17 outboard caused cracks along transom

Wow . Dave you hit it on the head. I have a hair-line crack along the top of the starboard transom, 3/8 inch below the top edge. It is much smaller and on top on the port side of the notch. I decided to fix it later since it is accessible and way above the water line. I wonder if gelcote / and or Marine-tex will be enough ? Does it need resin & cloth ? I will definitely be getting one of those 4H long shafts later this summer. Thanks for the advice, Doug On May 18, 2011, at 5:48 PM, W David Scobie wrote:
