I am getting ready to put a transom in my 2001 1900 Pro V. I see you cut both sides of your gunnels .Who made your end caps to cover up your cut ends,,, By the way Great job on your transom !!!
Hi Patrick, sorry for the late reply. I only cut the starboard side gunnel cap enough to slide out the old transom. Shaved off about a 1/4 inch off the end of the gunnel top. This way I didn’t have to drill out numerous rivets in order to remove the gunnel cap. I was able to reuse the old gunnel end caps. It worked well on my Lund model.
Why’d you end up removing the splash well? I’m restoring a 76 holiday and was going to tackle the transom when I do the floor. It didn’t look like I needed to remove the splashwell from what I saw.
Great question! I had to remove the splashwell in order to access all the inside nuts and bolts that go through the transom. On the Lund boats, the bolts go through the transom and into the floor stringers. So removing the spashwell allowed me access to the bolt nuts. Then the old wood transom slipped out nicely once they were removed
