Hi guys
Have discovered some rot in the transom of our plylite bluewater


Looking to repair and rebuild myself and wanting advice on the best way to go about it


With the way the outboard well is laid out I leaning toward cut the outside layer of glass off and repair from the inside out rather than having to cut well and side boxes out to get at it from the inside

Any advice appreciated cheers

Yes ...
Cut skin about 1/2" in from the edge..
 There are several VERY GOOD projects that have been undertaken in the backyards... recorded by step by step posts and photos..
 AND things would have done in retrospect.. nothing better than learning by others mistakes .. well not mistakes rather would have done different.Wink

It seems as a very intimidating job but once you get into it, it becomes basic common sense.
 One of the threads, started as just preping for a professional job....but ended up being very nicely finished at home.

Search forum last 3 or 4yrs.

PS you may have to buy a few tools, 4" grinder sander, dust masks.. end of the day you will have a better equipped tool box and still save running into several $1000 +
