Another thing I did last Sunday was remove my motor mount. The mount itself is in OK condition, but the mounting hardware and inside backing plate on the transom was junk.

here we have galvanized carriage bolts, aluminum fender washers and stainless steel nuts and lock washer. This qualifies for a high school project in cold fusion!

This is the pretty piece of completely untreated plywood that was up against the transom.

This is the side I got to look at all the time while in the cockpit. Nice rotted holes on the bottom.

This is what the transom looks like after removal of the plywood. The mounting holes through the transom are actually in real good shape. I'd half expected to find them elongated or somehow damaged. There was no sign whatsoever on the inside or out of any kind of sealant on the bolts.

The motor mount itself, an old Garelick. I'll probably replace this with one that gives me some more travel.
