My (very limited) experience with transoms is that they are cored. Not sure
about yours but if it is cored and it has gotten wet, you will need to dry
it out thouroughly before you do any repair work. If it stays wet you will
end up with rot if its wood. Wet wood or any other wet core and you may end
up with delamination.

My Nacra 5.8 is letting in a small amount of water, and it appears to be
seeping in through the lower side if the stern where the transom joins
the rest of the hull.
It looks as though the transom is a separately moulded piece, which is
attached to the rest of the hull. This is separating, letting in a small
amount of water, and I fear it may get bigger.
As to fixing it, should it simply reglass over the join inside (I feel
if i do this, It could leave water trapped inside the hull under this
repair)? Should I fill the separated parts outside with resin in
addition to prevent this? Or should I split the transom off and rejoin
the whole lot from scratch?
All help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
