Another boat question

Hard to believe the transom is hollow. No idea if mine is or not lol.
You can always add another layer of alum if you want?
Should have had it welded when I had the cracks done. I’m not so sure that may have caused my issues on the inside plate of the transom. View attachment 1716283614
But I didn’t want something like that going on where the outboard sits flush on the outside. The motor is tight on my “shims” and I used the sealer on all 4 sides of the plates. The transom is hollow! One 0.125” plate outside and a double layer inside.

3M makes two marine sealers 5200 is semi permanent but still flexible. I think 4200 is more like a caulking??
