I have a Columbia 28 with a 8hp outboard in the motor well. Can I cut and modify the transom to allow the motor to tilt up out of the water to prevent fouling, etc. Presently I must take the motor out of the well and store it in the cabin.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I just ran into your site and except for the 2x4 event, am enjoying reading. Read the article on hybrids for rec boats. Would it be possible to repower and old sailboat (42' 31,500# full keel) this way. I have looked at all the hybrid websites and the cost is 4 times a rebuild of the Perkins 85 hp. I have unlimited access to vac elec motors and generators of all types at great prices. Can you design around a good vac motor? Thanks.

Hi Cap!
Sorry I missed you at the Gam, it was a great weekend.
Your case is a perfect example of inappropriate sealant use. It should have been a Permatex type RTV gasket material on the case and 3M101 on the threads.
There are three ways of removing 3M5200: mechanical, heat and chemical. Neither is 100% effective. Heat is difficult to control, get things too hot and you damage seals, gaskets and fiberglass. Too cold just doesn't work. Mechanical is hard on parts, especially cast aluminum and fiberglass, be careful! There are a couple of de-bonding chemicals on the market that claim to weaken 5200. The problem is the you have some deep areas, around the bolts for example, that will take considerable time for the chemical to penetrate. It is the least destructive method, though. Don't envy you, hope this has helped. Stay in touch!
