Your boat is a good one to fix with the carbon core because the fiberglass on the outside back is thick.Not all boats built that well.Mine was thin like a playing card so I put marine plywood in again.CHEERS from Here!
Thanks for the video. Good to see someone using CarbonCore. I am considering it for my "new" 1962 Dorcett runabout with a rotten transom core that was left uncovered outdoors for to long. The transom shape is a few complicated angles and a shape that would be hard to cut and fit with plywood. Tip: f you need to pour sideways again (16:00 min) take a small propane torch or heat gun and SLOWLY heat the funnel , as you bend it into a shape you like. It also works for PVC pipe bending. Just go slow with the heat as you gently bend into the finished shape. I did that to a long car oil funnel to make a 90 degree bend at the far end to get into a tight filler hole I could not see. Also: You can use 1/8" pin striping tape to mark your cut for the pipe flaring cut.
You are welcome and also thanks for the tips, that is a good idea. The corbon core getting harder after I mixed it faster than I thought. Other than that, I like the product. No more hearing vibrations on my transom now. Im sure you will like it for your transom replacement, too.
Great video! I am getting ready to do similar repair to my boat as well. I am curious as to how you were able to build up those fiberglass sidewalls inside the transom to make the mold. How did you access that and get the glass to adhere?
They have told me about the product and it seems to be effective but in my opinion a transom without good knees and stingers is not strong, it is my opinion I don't know if you checked yours, let me know your opinion since I am doing the floor of a checkmate and then I will do the transom
@@NorCalOutdoor ok but you did your stingers after that ? I know that product gets solid but i have a Checkmate Starflite and the transom is weak in the medle but not crack and no water comes in ,i just want to make it solid for a Yamaha v6 250 motor with a 10" setback btw stingers are rott
Im doing good, thanks. Hope you are doing good as well. You will like carbonbond. It is light and strong. Just remember it will get dry so fast. Better to have someone help you when you mix and pour it. Need to get that process done fast before it got dry.
No, I didn't, I should had bought 10 gallons only. When I used the calculator, it gave me 12 gallons, but I only need about 9 gallons. My transom thickness is not event and I use worst case ro calculate it.
On your side walls did you to do the fiberglass block all the way down? or did you just go down enough to do like a form? Also, did you wait for the main part to dry before you poured the sides? if so did it bond together?
Yes, I did it all the way down. No, I didn't wait until the main side dried. I used a stick to make sure it went to the side when I poured it on the main side.

I see. Yes, looks like not all transom can be fixed with carbon core.. Thanks for the comments
I think you did a great job. Probably convinced me to do this with my little boat
Thank you for a great video and the ideas

Im doing mine in couple of days just waitkng for good weather nice video sir
@@marinemotorman8302 You're welcome. You will like the result. I don't hear much vibration anymore on my transom. So far so good
Great job!

Thanks. I just made it layer by layer. I cut paper to make the shapes I wanted, then cut the fiberglass to copy the shapes.
Only a little better because of the shopped strans of Viber glass they mix with seacast
My friend I pour today look great ,, question what you use to fill and level the CAP !!! ??
Awesome. What cap?
@@NorCalOutdoor the line top 🔝
You put one layer of fiber glass , can I use bondo to fill it up ???
@@gherickb8181 I put the 5 layers then I put bondo on the top before I sanded it.
@@NorCalOutdoor excellent either many many thanks for your help you are the best !!!!
Very nice kabayan.How much 5gal kabayan?
Sekitar 20 liters kang

I had some extras and let it dry. I can even break it with my big hammer. It is solid like rock. Good so far and hold my engine really good.

I didn't redo any stringer, but it is connected to the side stringers
Seacast is better but good job
You may be right. I haven't compared it yet, but so far so good with that one. There is no issue so far and still strong.
Hello how are you?? I have a 25ft fountain with a soft transom and i considering using carbonbond what is your recommendation for me. Thanks
Im doing good, thanks. Hope you are doing good as well.
You will like carbonbond. It is light and strong. Just remember it will get dry so fast. Better to have someone help you when you mix and pour it. Need to get that process done fast before it got dry.
@@NorCalOutdoor i would think pouring in cool weather would slow the drying process a little
@lesterpeters1504 yes, it can be
Did you use all 15 gallons?
No, I didn't, I should had bought 10 gallons only. When I used the calculator, it gave me 12 gallons, but I only need about 9 gallons. My transom thickness is not event and I use worst case ro calculate it.

For your experience there any problem whit wood residue I can’t take it out what I can do ???
I used vacuum to suck it. The small residues should be okay.
@@NorCalOutdoor I still have big parts wood there
@@gherickb8181 rotten wood? If not, they will bond together.
@@NorCalOutdoor yes rotten in the side in the middle in motor place is good empty !!
@@gherickb8181 I would take it out if rotten. You can rent long chainsaw from home depot for few days. I used metal rod, too
Your blade is dull
Maybe. Rented it from Home Depot. Thank you.
