I've never heard of Matchless 205W. The extent of my fiberglass expertise stops at Marinetex.
I hope to get to the Whaler next week and sand off the bottom paint. Then have the transom checked with a moisture meter to try and determine the extent of damage. The fiberglass guy at the yard is convinced they are cracks not scratches and were probably the result of the transom not strong enough to support the engine. I should learn a little more by the end of next week.
