Here is the transom from the outside, stitched to the quarter panel and galley floor. It was not quite touching the camper floor so I added some temporary screws to hold it while it is being glued (no picture).
What follows is one of the worst jobs on the project: crawling into that little cave and filleting and taping/epoxying all four joints on the transom.
The hardest part was the top joint, just below the galley floor. You can't tell from this angle but the tape has to bend back toward itself. I was expecting to do a really horrible job because it is so hard to get at, but it came out looking pretty good. Much of the transom itself is painted with epoxy because of all the spills. That was to be expected. Later the entire inside of the camper will be coated with epoxy.
And this shows the top, one side, and bottom joints all filleted and taped/epoxied. These joints need to be strong, and I'm not worried.
