During Internal Structure Exam, all four station tabbing’s attached to the transom had become separated from the transom.

Issued 1 October 2020 Resolved

During Internal Structure Exam, tabbing around the exhaust flange that attaches to the transom bulkhead had separated approximately 1/16 of an inch. When the transom bulkhead above the exhaust flange was sounded, from the inside clear indications of delamination was present approximately 6”-8” above the flange. When sounded from the outside, indications led the inspector to believe the wood may be weakened or rotted. The representative’s plan is to grind the tabbing around the flange and the delaminated fiberglass on the transom, and examine the wood in the transom bulkhead for further planning.
