Hey yall,
I sail a
Catalina 27 with an open transom that fits my
Honda 9.9
outboard out the back with controls in the
cockpit.
Although there is a drain (and two drilled drains as well) I dislike this design and am planning to fill the transom, install an
outboard bracket and utilize the said controls. Anyone ever see this style and anyone you know ever
fiberglass the transon shut and use a bracket instead?
I plan to do this because when following seas swell the transom never fully drains. Also, don't like the idea of a hole in the back of my
boat anymore! But more importantly I am not able to tilt the
engine as there is not enough clearance.
Thanks
