Mark the edges of the top cap of the transom with a grease
pencil for a line along which to cut with a reciprocating saw.
Cut along the line with a reciprocating saw to cut the top cap
off of the transom.
Use a Saws all : DO NOT USE CHAIN SAW this will not
only cause you a false cure and floating repair , your warranty

Step #2
Now it is time to remove the rotten wood from between your
transoms walls. We suggest using an auger bit and a drill with
extensions if required to remove the compromised wooden
core. These can be purchased at your local Home Depot
Harbour
Freight.,
Using a vacuum start to remove layers of your rotten wood
core in you transom cavity.
After the rot has been removed you will be left with an open
cavity. Tape off all open holes that you do not want the
product to leak out from , Now you are ready to begin
pouring your Transom Repair Kit seen below.
Our Transom Repair Kits come in two mixes, A and B. Both
must be mixed accurately by weight in order for them to cure.
The kit comes with two parts, Part "A"
which is often the Activator "side" and part "B" which is the
base side and 1 bottle of stabilizer. Please be sure to wear
protective gloves for safe handling for both. Before you start
to pour your transom kit drill some small vent holes. Now you
are ready to start you pouring. Until you get familiar with the
amount of product required for your repair, we suggest that
you mix up small batches a quart at a time. There is no prep
required between pours. The wait time schedule between
pours is 15 to 20 mins.
Step #3
Using duct tape cover unwanted holes with tape applied in a
crisscross pattern. These holes can be sanded and painted or
red drilled if needed after cured.
Mixing:
YOU MUST ADD THE GREEN BOTTLE TO THE
PART B OF YOUR KIT PRIOR TO MIXING.
Shake part B of your kit after adding stabilizer.
Now you are ready to start mixing your product. Again we
suggest trying a small amount of both Part A and Part B
of your Transom Repair Kit to gauge your expansion rate
for your repair area.
Step # 4 Now you are ready to start your pour.
Mixing instructions
A mixing ratio of 1 parts of A by volume to 1 part of B after
the stabilizer has been added,. Often when mixing our kits,
You must measure by volume accurately to achieve best
results. Before mixing make sure both cans A and B have
been shaken thoroughly before pouring equal amounts of A to
equal amounts of B in a 1: to 1: , meaning one of part A to
one part of B. Mix both amounts together stir with wooden
paddle or stir sticks for 30 seconds. Do not use an electric
form of mixing mix by hand using a paint stick.
Product will start to cure when combined together, pot life
time in 75 Degrees F is about 1- 5 minutes.
Pour product into cavity of repair area. It is advised to mix
small amounts for a more controlled application. Please note
that our product will expand 5 times its mixed volume. Again
for best results mix small quantities to figure out your
required expand ratio for your climate.
Your repair should look something like this at this point of the
repair process.
Now you are ready to sand all the areas that were previously
cut or drilled for your repair. If done properly all of the areas
should be flush or flat after sanding. If there are any voids or
holes left after the repair process you can fill them with
everyday bondo or marine putty. Then apply the paint or
gelcoat to finish your repair. If you require one of our gelcoat
kits you can purchase them on our web site just call us and we
will be happy to supply you with whatever you choose..
After 20 minutes and product has cured you can sand and
shape your top cap of your transom and paint or gelcoat.
