what'S the way to make it dry???

hello guy's i took in exchange a 1997 baja hammer. that boat read 100% humid in the transom but is not delaminated. my servey guy told me to sandblast the thansom and let it dry with the air. i was thinking about bring it into a wood dryer or something like that because the boat is sold and i have to deliver it soon

There is NO quick fix for this. If you are 100% then the transom is going to be TOTALLY SOAKED. time to pull the engines and transom assemblies and preplace it..... IMO of course

If you chose to just try and dry it , it will likley delaminate as it dries. Like Audiofn said .... there is no quick fix..... and he's been there, done that!

yep . . .it takes months of being in a dry atmosphere to even come close to getting dry. there have been a few attempts to come up with a heated vaccum assisted pad that can be placed on wet areas but in all reality they dont really workthat well on a transom. quicker to de-rig it and get the sawzal out hate to say it.
