When your boat’s transom begins to fail, it can compromise the entire structure of your vessel. The transom is not only a critical support point for your motor; it also plays a major role in the overall safety and performance of your boat. At Anchor Marine Repair in Delano, Minnesota, we specialize in professional transom repair and replacement services to help boat owners stay safe on the water and extend the life of their investment.
Signs Your Boat’s Transom May Need Repair
The transom is the flat vertical section at the back of your boat where the outboard motor is mounted. Over time, transoms can become weakened due to water infiltration, impact damage, or simple wear and tear from years of use. Some of the most common signs of transom damage include:
• Soft or spongy spots near the engine mount
• Cracks in the fiberglass around the transom
• Flexing or movement when the engine is engaged
• Water leaking into the bilge area
• Visible rot or delamination of wood within the transom
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your boat inspected right away. Ignoring the problem can lead to more serious structural issues and increase the cost of repair.
