Most transom windows are detailed, intricate, and ornate. They are widely loved for their ability to expand your view, open up a room, and bring in lots of extra light. While they are most commonly known for being fan-shaped, they can come in multiple types of styles including glass paneling and solid glass.
Not all transom windows can be opened. Fixed transoms are meant for decoration and increased light flow. They can be ideal in spaces where ventilation is not an issue. Operable transoms can be opened in a couple of different ways: the old-fashioned ones will use a window pole, while modern windows are often motorized. here
Last but not least, transom windows are simply lovely to look at. Plus, you can rest at ease knowing that this trend is here to last. After all, they’ve been around for centuries. [links]

The transom angle is the vertical incline of the transom and is measured in degrees. The boat transom can be flat with zero degree angles. Or it can have an angle degree as high as 30. [links]
Industry standards dictate that for short shaft engines the transom height should be 15″. A long shaft engine requires a height of 20″ and extra-long shaft engines will need a transom height of 25″.
The height of the boat transom dictates the size of the outboard motor. The motor is what powers the boat so the two go hand-in-hand.
Here we look at the effects of standard, lower and higher mounting. more
Mounting the motor lower on the boat transom can create excessive spray, increase case drag, reduce underwater clearance, and negatively impact faster boats. here
The height of the transom is calculated by measuring from the bottom of the hull to the top of the transom, using the center line.
The first step is to gain access to the transom. In the case of the example boat, there was a motor well bulkhead that made a natural place to cut through the liner/sole for access, but each boat will be a little different. The deck cap in this model did not need to be removed to be able to access the very top of the transom. If the boat had a single motor well and wide deck cap, a cut through the cap (or removal of cap) would have probably been necessary in order to reach the entire inside of the transom.
The boat is now ready to be put back together. While the structural aspects of the rebuild are the same from boat to boat: marine plywood, epoxy, tabbing, cloth, etc. each boat design will be a little different in how it should be taken apart and put back together. You do not necessary have to follow the same procedure as the example in this tutorial. In the case of our example boat, the owner simply epoxied into place the cut out portion of his motor well. Butt blocks epoxied to the underside of the parts were used to make a lip for gluing the two edges of fiberglass. Using epoxy fairing compound the joint was then faired out smooth.
Installing the new core: your new plywood core should be the same total thickness as the original plywood. If you are changing anything about the design of the transom (higher engine mounts, enclosed transom, bracket, etc. ) you may need to make adjustments to the thickness of the core. Post details on the forum and we can help with this. Most powerboat transoms are made by laminating multiple layers of 1/2" or 3/4" plywood. It is not a problem to make a very thick transom by using epoxy to laminate many layers together, in fact it is quite the opposite. more
