Trim tabs and Mini-Jacker
Holes for planes and actuators overdrilled and hollowed out (inner hollowed out area quite a bit larger than visible hole), preparatory to filling with thickened epoxy. The center actuator hole looks "white" because it goes all the way through and you can see "air" in the cockpit behind it. I taped the transom prior to laying out the locations for the various components so that I could make my layout lines on the tape.

Hole for zinc

This is a "core sample" of the transom from where I overdrilled the holes for mounting the Mini Jacker. At the top is the outer skin. The reason there is no inner skin on the sample is that I just cut the large hole up to the inner skin but not through it. I only made a fastener-sized (smaller) hole through the inner skin, so it's not attached to the core sample.

After filling with thickened epoxy and letting it cure, I tapped the holes for the fasteners. The reason there are some raggedy bits of tape left on are because I had wanted to save a few of my reference lines. I made the holes in the template with paper punch - that worked well for lining up the upper actuator holes when I went to re-drill.
