I am installing my Lowrance X125 in our Starcraft SS, it requires an one inch hole. It is an IO so it has a tall transom. What should I use to cover the hole after sealing with 4200? I?ve thought about a clam shell type vent, is there anything made for this specific application? Also if using a clam shell, they list different sizes like 9/16? X 1 7/8? how is this measured, the opening 9/16? deep and 1 7/8? tall? I haven?t seen a description of how they are measured.

If you're visiting or live near a shoreline, clam digging is an enjoyable way to find ingredients for a meal. To search for clams on the shore, look for coin-sized depressions and water spurting out of the hole. Once you've found a potential spot, dig directly below the depression, pull out the clam, and place it in a sealable bucket. After properly storing your clams, you'll be able to make a fresh and delicious seafood meal.

Hey 'dub,
I hear you loud and clear! Many aluminum boats use wood in their transoms but it's often less than you imagine.
In other words, what appears to be a very wide span of wood is often no bigger than a 10 or 12 inch width of 3/4" plywood sandwiched between the fore & aft surfaces of the transom.
I'm sure intuitively you see why manufacturers use wood, it's an inexpensive, tough, durable core material that adds stiffness and compression resistance to the engine mounting area.

The Life Calk should take care of the wood within the hole too. Hope that helpa and happy drilling. more

also got one other thing to pick you brain about. the two holes in my transom where they ran cabling and the fuel line for my main motor are not watertight, i can see daylight from the inside. not usually a big deal when i'm running cause they are above the swimstep, but if i'm back into some waves, i can definitely see water getting through there, and that happens to be right where my batteries, switch and connections all sit. any suggestions on how to seal up void space around the lines? i was thinking of just taking some spray foam from the inside and filling up the voids. there's a decent amount of volume around the steering and electrical cabling so just running a couple beads of silicone caulk won't do it. here
