Not sure, a lot would depend on the damage and how large it is.

Hopefully the entire transom doesn't have to be replaced, but you never
know until you dig into it.

Water migration in wood core can be a bear.

I've never done this exaty type of repair, but a surveyor once showed me
that repairs should be done from the inside, not the outside.

I would imagine that I would tear out everything from the inside, then
replace the wood core and reglass the inside skin.
