Well this is what it looks like now.

This is going to be my next project.

All of the main support bolts are out and extra screws holding the splash well in place are removed

Side bolts on the transom, I had to drill out a few and cut off the bottom two due to them spinning free and rust holding the nuts on.

With almost all the bolts removed I should be able to life the wood transom out, thats what I thought.

This is the pieces of metal I had to cut out to remove the transom.

Finally after about half an hour of bending metal tabs back where the bolts went into the transom wood I got it out. Not in one whole piece, but in three. The rotted wood seem to split where the curved section started.

Well here it is in one piece.

Here is where in split into two.

Well I saw this before and now I want to fix it the right way so when I paint the boat you will not see it.

Here is how I power the electric winch, it works great.
