I have acquired some "spider" stress cracks in the transom area on the 211 in the floor area as it meets the transom. Ten years ago I would have dismissed this as normal wear and tear and not batted an eye. However, after reading all of the horror stories on this site about transom rot and such, I had to overcome a long cold sweat when I noticed the blemishes. I've done the bouncing on the engine deal with no noticable play in the transom. My questions is are, 1) are the "spider" cracks probably nothing more than superficial and 2) what do I need to do to prevent a more significant problem down the road, ie. repairs if necessary?
I trailer the boat everywhere and believe the cracks are from engine bouncing while trailering. I have tried various transom savers but they just don't seem to be much benefit. I did notice an engine lock apparatus from Swivel-Ez that looks pretty good. Do any of you have any experience with this device?
