This is what the liner of the transom looks like from the inside; the answer to my previous question was: plywood encased the fiberglass skin extends all the way down to the hull bottom...You can, kind of, view the water traveling along the foam to fiberglass boundary. The water came in through the bilge through tube and migrated along the foam/fiberglass boundary. It migrated all the way to the port side side stern area also. The foam in the bilge area was saturated.

I also imagine, though I cannot prove it, that water in the fiberglass/plywood sandwich transom may have cracked; the encasing material (freeze thaw cycles; remember, we get cold weather here) and allowed some water to migrate through the transom also. When I get to the Nida-Bond transom pouring description I can describe one of the effects of this also.
