Wood In Transom Area Is Wet & I Sealed It Up. Should I Open It Back Up And Let It Dry Out?..?
we put our boat in the shop for repairs & to install a new fish finder system. after getting it back home & driving it around the lake we discovered they left two screw holes in the back hull where they took the old transducer off. water has been able to get into the transom board area for a couple of weeks now.
i filled the two holes with epoxy putty today but wonder if i did the right thing. should i reopen (drill) the holes and let it dry out before sealing it up again? is it possible to dry it out? will there be damage to the transom boards if they stay wet? if so, what is the best way to dry it out? all opinions are appreciated.
