Thank you for joining me on this transom installation tutorial. If you purchased a transom from us at GasHopper or just in the process of installing one on your boat, this tutorial is perfect for you. This process took 3 days to install but can be cut down to 2 days. I choose to do it in 3 days due to other repairs in the shop and making sure everything is sealed up properly.
The boat used is a 1999 Zodiac Mark 2 Grand Raid where the transom was starting to separate in the layers and was a poorly maintained the boat.
Every parts that was glued was prepped before making of this tutorial. All areas getting glued were sanded down with 120 grit sandpaper and wiped down with MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).
When applying the glue shown, use 3-4 layers and follow manufacturer instructions between application times.
If you need a replacement transom for your inflatable boat, we at GasHopper Inc. can replace the one you have with a stronger, epoxy sealed and gel-coated finished one.

Great job, I have a 14 foot Zodiac Hypalon with a rotten bare plywood transom. I will make a new glass over plywood transom use the same glue like your video.
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 3 года назад
We make our transoms from highly quality marine plywood which are epoxy coated and gelcoat sealed. We do make the glass ones with wood cores also. But they are usually pricey to make, but all depends on the methods you use and the access to fiberglass supplies.

Thanks for the video. Great info. I have a leak at the unction of the bottom and inner channel of the tube. Its not glued anymore, I can feel air pockets. Do I have to reglue the whole transom?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 3 месяца назад
Depending on how far the glue has come off, you could get away just regluing that area. But it recommended that you should remove and reglue areas that have come loose to ensure a good bond and strength to the area's getting repaired.

Hola, me gustó mucho el video. Tengo el mismo problema. Tengo varias preguntas si me quieres ayudar. De qué pintura esta recubierta la madera del espejo? Qué pegamento me recomiendas? Muchas gracias desde Suecia.
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 24 дня назад
Hope the translation was correct, but the paint we use is a gelcoat paint or epoxy paint for the new transoms we make. Glue, all depends on the fabric of the boat. Z7096 for PVC Z7098 for Hypalon

Great tutorial, im about to do mine, need to do the transom and couple d-rings... how many oz. do you recommed, 4, 8, quart ????Also you think is necesary to seal the edges around transom and patches to prevent small leaks? just for precaution.
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 9 месяцев назад
Thank you. I recommend a pint to quart if doing a complete transom. This way you'll have extra for any other stuff that's needs to be put back on or together. Yes, the more you can seal around the transom the better and will provide extra strength in the process.

Thanks so much for these videos! I am about to do mine soon. What paint do you use on the transom so that the PVC glue does not melt it?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 10 месяцев назад
Great question, we use gelcoat or epoxy paint. Depends on the application and how bad we want to smell the shop up. Gelcoat is bad for that, lately we been moving to the epoxy paint as it's got less odor and smell when in the curing process.

MAY I ASK? What would you think of mounting a SWIVEL SEAT into one of the aluminum floor boards of my CLASSIC MK 1? Feasible?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 20 дней назад
I seen it done many time. Either bolt the seats posts to the aluminum floors or use rivnuts and bolt them in.

I noted in the video you used a PVC glue to glue the hypalon onto the transom and then switched to using a hypalon glue to glue the hypalon-to-hypalon parts. I have a small area of hypalon to repair back into the painted aluminium hull, is a hypalon glue such as Bostik 2405 hypalon glue acceptable to use? I’d appreciate your opinion. I just want to do the job properly.
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc Год назад
You can try to use the Bostic 2405 glue, as I'm sure it's the same as Zodiac Z7098. Zodiac does get there glue from Bostik Adhesives. Only thing, is I'm not sure how well it bonds to aluminum. I know with gelcoat surfaces, the Hypalon Glue will bonds very good. For surfaces I'm unsure of if bonding is questionable, I usually go towards the PVC glues as they seem to bond almost everything together.

Am I able to do each section one at a time? Like just the bottom one day then the sides the next, then the bottom flaps, then side support flaps? Or do you prefer to do all at once?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc Год назад
the more you do in steps, the better the the outcome. we usually take 3 days to do transom installs.

nice....what's the purpose of drain hole if you seal shut and cant take them out?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 2 года назад
To drain the boat of course. Every try to drain a boat filled water after a good rain storm? They get pretty heavy and when you try to flip them over, you can potentially rip out a handles or damage the boat. Drain are there for that purpose.

Can you give a long term feedback about the resistance at sea ?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 3 года назад
What do you mean? In regards to longevity and lasting, these transoms repairs can last at least 5+ years if done properly. I have customers who are going on 10+ years with no issues. But it's how they care for their inflatable. We give 5 year warranty if new transom is purchased, 1 year if using preexisting transom. That's using either of the 2 glues listed in the tutorial. Prep, and clean surfaces are the biggest step to making the glue adhere and last.
@davideldred.campingwilder6481
@@gashopperinc yes, but you also have to make sure that the wood of the transom is dry. That is the most important thing when using the same transom.
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc Год назад
@Camping Wilder yes that is true. Thank you for pointing what I left out. Dry transom is the only way the glue will stick.

Great vid..TY....I gone an' fuced up and left the motor up on tilt all winter...she eventually tore the transom off!!! GDI...DO YOU have any thoughts on just reglueing it back on? What product do we use to remove old glue? TX again
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc Год назад
As long as the original transom is solid and no rot, can easily be glued back in. Just have to remove all the old glue and clean the surfaces from any debris or greases, and you should be good to go. Cleaning and prep are the most important for any repairs to these boats.

Do you need to let it sit for some time in between the layers?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc 10 месяцев назад
Yes, each manufacturer has a suggested waiting time before each layer application, consult there directions when using.

Three coats? the stabond directs say two coats. AM I missing something here?
@gashopperinc
@gashopperinc Год назад
Not missing anything at all. Some of the older glues wanted 3 layers. Zodiac PVC glues especially want 3 layers. That's why I recommend following the manufacturers directions when using the choice of glue for the install. When in doubt, just use 3.

What's the ID plate call for??? This one is rated for a 40HP max. Yours could be different, just follow what the ID plate says. If you go above the max rated HP, then you could have stability and handling problems.
