FAQ's
How to reinforce a transom on an aluminum boat?,
If you are noticing soft spots on the transom of your aluminum boat, you will definitely need to reinforce your transom, and sooner rather than later. You will need to do a bit of research to determine the best course of action, but in general, you will need either plywood or metal (some people recommend angle iron), epoxy, gel coat, paint brushes and pretty full set of tools to work with. It is not recommended to use treated wood since the chemicals can corrode the aluminum.,
How do you strengthen a boat transom?,
One of the best ways to strengthen a boat transom is with a transom plate. Transom plates work by absorbing stress and distributing energy evenly throughout the transom rather than in one localized spot. Transom plates also protect the boat exterior from normal wear and tear.,
