Not too hard, got the skill saw out, put a 2" by 3/8 strap of aluminum, and burnt it in. what sucked was putting it back when I got the tall transom. |

Once I cut out the 4 inches, I took a piece of 3/8" thick, 2" wide piece of aluminum flat bar. Then I tig welded it into the top of the transom. Hope this clairifies it for you. |

i would cut it down only where you need it to be and leave the rest tall becuase that way they kinda act as splash boards just mu 2 cents worth |
