any ideas as to why this cracked?boat is rated for a 15hp(have a 9.5 on it)also use a transome saver when trailering.the rivots on each of the end caps have popped out at times(drilled and installed bigger rivots)the top of the transom is kind of rolled(one piece)that forms a rail.used some 3'16-1 inch steel at top of transom and thru bolted it.used jb weld to seal crack.tried to weld with the aluminum repair sticks -the stick would not stick(i know it was hot enough used an oxy acele.torch and slowly heated-transome area-it started to melt transome-made more of a mess-maybe not aluminum?now transome has more strenght (also has new plywood on each side of transom)you guys see any problems with this fix?it is above the water line-thanks for any replies
