Chamfer the edges of tthe transom5:1 externaly, then place apiece of formica faced ply over the apperture ,,from inside the lazarette start to lay -up into the preped area with 300gram CSM then continue with altenate layers o woven cloth and csm. finish offwith epoxy fairing compound and paint to your desired colour. good luck mike h
