To be clear. What is meant by a cracked transom?

If spider cracking of the gelcoat is what he is referring too don't be concerned because this doesn't effect the transoms strength.

Also to be clear. Many of us have kicker motors mounted on our transoms which puts the weight in the 400lbs range. If your single motor exceeds this weight than you may have issues but I don't think a cracked transom will be one of them.
