NFN's New Transom Installation Part 2 (DIY)

Second video on my new transom do it yourself project. Part 1 shows the removal. This video (part 2) shows the insallation. I tried to show what tools and steps that worked for me. Hopefully this will help others out others that take on this project.

I applaud you…so many people would have pawned it off onto someone else and made it their problem and just bought a new boat. I think you did a great service to yourself with all of the upgrades including backer plates and increasing aluminum gage.

[@armed435]

Great job and the most in-depth videos I have seen on this topic.

[@raystomberski4480]

One Heck of a project, looks like it is done very well, thanks for the videos

[@kraigmonty1075]

Good job!! Looks good lots of work!!

Hi Nick, A while back I asked you about a source for whole baits for your bait rigs. I also said that I would let you know if I found one. Well, I realize that it isn't quite the same fish, but, when I was at Bearcats in Howard today I found packages of whole sardines frozen. They are about 6 inches long and about 2 inches tall. I am going to give them a try after adding some salt and some borax. Thanks again for all your very helpful videos. Maybe we will meet up out there on the ice looking for some whitefish this winter. Joe

Hey Joe, I've never tried sardines but I would think they would work. Thanks for letting me know. If you see me out on the ice stop by and say hello 👋

[@reelgamecalls1744]

Got the same boat. I need mine tiddied up like that. This winter...

[@walterjohnson9766]

Nice complete video. Not a butcher job.

Nick you mentioned drilling holes for transducer mounts . I have been seeing many glue the mounting board right to the transom with 5200 . No holes in transom . Looks to work very well .

[@NoFishNicksAdventures]

I drilled two holes and plus 5200 for my transducer board.

[@markszablewski6619]

Looks better than new!..

[@NoFishNicksAdventures]

Thanks, I've been enjoying the heck out of it.

Hey Nick, I noticed you have a Trollsmarter unit. Is that new to you? How do you like the unit? Did you have a troll master before? Thanks. Great video.

[@NoFishNicksAdventures]

Yes I had an original Troll Master Pro but during the transom rebuild I switched it to a Troll Smarter because I liked the remote and the hunt mode. So far I love it

[@timothymaslowski4388]

Did you through bolt your kicker?

[@stevieg2755]

Myself when i put in foam i would put a thick plastic sort of liner,then foam over and into it.Becsuse that foam will draw in water, regardless of what uou heard,i saw a guy remove the foam in his not very old boat and wring out the water

[@choimdachoim9491]

It just occurred to me while watching this that the jugs of foam liquid should also be at 80 degrees for maximum expansion.

[@user-de8so1qx5v]

What's that transom made of.

[@BlueRidgeMarine]

I was wondering the same. Did you use a composite material and use the old wood for a template?

[@bryantburns3664]

Wow. Amazing work.
