From what I can find it looks like 2 1/4 " is the Max thickness of the transom per merc standards. With 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood and the existing transom fibreglass im measuring 1 13/16". That leaves me with 11/16" to make up with fibreglass which is a lot to make up.
Of all the threads I've read most guys just use 2 pieces of 3/4". But im thinking of using a piece of 1" and 3/4" to bring me to approx 2 1/16". Which leaves about 3/16" fibreglass to make up the rest.
Is 3/16" enough glass to cover the new transom plywood? Or am I getting too fussy about hitting the 2 1/4" Mark to get the Max thickness for strength.?
