I bought a used 1990 22 foot revenge with a whaler drive. I had the bottom paint removed this spring and found about 10 screw holes in the bottom of the transom of the whaler drive. These screw holes were for fish/depth finders. The holes have been weeping water all spring. My questions:
1. Is the transom of the whaler drive composed of wood all the way down to the hull of the boat, metal just at the top of the whaler drive and fiberglass down towards the hull, or just fiberglass?
2. If wood, should I have someone use a water meter to check how waterlogged the wood is?
3. If wood and it is waterlogged, what is the best way to dry it out?
4. If wood, will I ever be able to dry it out if the foam floation is water logged?
4. If the transom is metal on top and just fiberglass below, and the foam floation is water logged, should I just epoxy the screw holes?

Thank you, any input is greatly appreciated.
