Without seeing it I say you're fine. I'm no fiberglass expert but I suggest you go sailing.

The plate is held in place with the bolts for the motor mount as well as three bolts along the bottom of the transom. The bolts are above the water line. The backing plate inside presses against a glob of fiberglass resin on one corner. This should have been ground out, but wasn't and as result it has caused a small dime sized raised bit on the outside of the transom. It's only a couple millimeters high. It's hard to see, but you can feel it with your finger. The gel coat has fine hairline cracks that haven't increased in size for 6 months. I'm not a fiberglass expert and was wondering if I need to worry about any possible structural issues? From what I understand fiberglass is pretty flexible. Thanks a lot as always for your help, Mark McMenamy C&C 25 Icicle Fort Pierce FL _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
