Okay, not going to bore everyone with the typical transom door questions. I know I need to put one in, more for getting on the boat everyday than for tuna, although I wish different.
Working on ships, we go to cut out a bulkhead or deck, we basically have to put the same amount of material that we cut out, around where we cut. Whether we double it up, or any other thing we do to it.
So why have since the dawn of me realizing this, do I question cutting a door out of my transom and especially breaking the covering board across the stern. Sure I absolutely know it gets done to every boat, some boats do not even have transoms, etc.
Why do I just think its weakening the structure? Sure I know boats that are from the 70's that are fine but just very curious... Perhaps because I only have one bulkhead in my boat, lol...
