well it seems the ol lund has a rotted transom.
can see some screws pulling in.

Is there any where in ottawa area that replaces Lund Transoms?
I will check with the dealers around wondering if anyone else had
experience.

I helped my brother-in-law do his. Lund wanted $3000. to repair it. Not much cost in materials mostly labor, have to take it completely apart. We had to use a chainsaw very carefully to remove old plywood as it was water logged and hard to get out.

I've replaced a couple. Not too bad of a job. I used white oak for the replacement wood. Got it from a local mill. I cut it to size and then the mill planed it for me. Mine weren't wrapped in aluminum. If your is I would drill out the rivets or remove the screws. Use what's left of the old wood for a template. If you don't have a rivet gun, most boat dealers can rivet it for you, I wouldn't use pop rivets on a transom. Not saying you can't, but I wouldn't. You can get your seam caulking at a auto body shop supply store. I got mine from Benson's. Use stainless steel screws. Remember that pressure treated wood and aluminum don't mix.

Thanks for the info on the PT wood and aluminum! I'm replacing the transom on a 14ft tinny and was about to use PT wood for it...i'll use oak now
