The guy I bought my cobra from left the drain plug in and standing water for 6 years. Looks like the rear is 2/3 composite with a thin plywood sheet. Going to dry it and add git rot epoxy.
anyone mess with that stuff?

Stropp,
Here are a couple pictures of my transom after 2 years of knocking off my lower unit, very bad wood rot. I think the transom is made up of 3/4 inch plywood layers in between the outer layers of fiber glass?

Interesting. Mine is different. It is a very hard composite with a layer of plywood. My transom seems very solid. I am going to let it dry over the winter and use a dehumidifier and the PC rot epoxy
Yes interesting, what year Cobra do you have. I think all the Coosa that were built are supposed to have an all composite transom?
I have a 99. Not sure if this could be a pre AME composite rear
Anyone know if the 2000 were composite?

Not sure but I dried mine out completely. Dehumidifier ran for about a month. The soggy board became rock hard. Completely dried and now have sealed everything with 5200. No longer worried about the transom as the one section is completely isolated from all the others and the moisture did not spread. Assuming what I thought was wood was actually some sort of composite.
