Transom Plates
I'm looking at some late 90's early 2000 Formula Fastech boats. It seems like there are a lot of boats these days getting replacement Transom Plates. That's an expensive repair! How can one tell if the Plates are getting to the point of needing to be replaced?

Ok. It's only known as the transom assembly. On the inside of the transom is the inner transom plate which holds the assembly on the back of the boat. They usually need to be rebuilt after some time. Pins start to wear out. You have the upper which helps it turn and the side pins. Grab drive and try wiggle up an down. You will usually see if there's play in the pins. If you're not sure take someone along who knows.
