    Tired of looking at the zinc hanging off of the transom.

    Any pics of the interior install and midway? I curious to see the transom thickness.

    Looks nice. But I can't help but say this must be a 1st world problem lol

    PS: I can't see mine, because the swim platform blocks the view.

    All the new boats have these so why not a 50 year old boat with one too.
    Wanted to move to a larger zinc with a different hole pattern so we would have been patching 2 holes and creating 2 new ones including hogging out the basla etc.
    We've had the box for years, just never got around to putting it in.
    Didn't take any pictures during the install.
    Next time at the boat will get some shots of the inside.

    Ditto, but Dan if others took a close look at our boats who knows what they would say.

    Re: Transom Zinc Recessed Box Project

    So what am I missing? Why would this need to be recessed on the transom?

    he said he is tired of looking at it, but i'm thinking more because of fishing lines being cut by anything protruding from the transom

    You’re not missing anything Sky. Lots more to due on these yachts than this. But it’s his to do.
