[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 34899, member: 983"] After doing several transom replacements I would agree 100% that the cracks were caused by the weak rotted wood. It is incredible how much they flex when rotten. I have seen several that amazed me that the motor even hung on. Your situation is tough. If you tried to nail down how the water intrusion started (most probable the engine mounting holes) it would just be a finger pointing issue. It seems that too many people, the factories included, just don't seal the holes properly. Doesn't take long for things to go bad. A nice polymer material with aluminum reinfocements seems reasonable to me over wood. But, must just be a $$$ thing. [/QUOTE]
