The curvature and fit of the casing may

not appear to match the transom frame

shape, if the two are compared before

installation. Do not be concerned. The

casing will flex and is fit to the frame at

installation time.

Casing is furnished with a small amount of

extra length at each end. This will need to

be trimmed at installation time.

Complete installation of this elliptical

casing before doing the straight vertical

sides.
