Good morning,
I'm hoping to get some insight on an issue I'm having while attempting to remove the cap off my 1996 Savage 896. The transom has rotted and needs to be replaced so I plan on doing it with Ceramic. In prepping the Cap for removal I have been able to free up everything except for the stern directly around the transom area. From the Bow all the way back and around to the actual Transom is free but I cannot get that area to release. I have twisted down in and around the back like trying to get under a car dashboard, lol. The last thing I want is to apply too much pressure and crack something somewhere. Is there anything that ties the Cap to the Hull in that area or could be catching somehow? I've did 3 other boats similar to this over the years and have never come across this issue. Any suggestions and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
