Just spotted this today, it's an inch long. Cause for concern? if so, how to repair?

Trying to figure out where that is... Regardless, I'd have it welded.
The crack is at the corner, on the top edge of the Transom. Thanks for the reply, I thought welding would probably be best. Boat is 20 years old and a "Garage Queen."Originally Posted by bshort
Have it welded, and get a good transom saver.
I have the "Stick Type", what would you suggest otherwise?
I still have the original stick type that came with mine. I guess my OP should have said, make sure to use a transom saver. Not sure if that is what caused your problem, but it's a good place to start.
WARNING WARNING WARNING. Dont do anything, I'll come
get it before it self destructs and hurts you. Its not necessary
to thank me. LDS
Oh, go ahead and weld it.

Tig weld it and be done also get a transom saver
This is what I've used since boat was new in 2000. I'd never attempt moving it without the transom saver. I'm sure my 20 year old 125 Merc is heavier than a larger/newer engine. Boat was only rated for 150 hp max.
Strange it cracked with a transom saver. Any how just get it tig welded if you dont weld and should be fine. If you lived here by me I would say bring it over but that would be tiny bit of a drive lol.
I appreciate the thought Mutt. Got an appointment tomorrow morning at our local Weld Shop. Ain't even a mile from our shack!
