FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Titon Marine System is a patent-pending composite structural restoration system for GRP boat transoms and stringers. It uses a pultruded GRP rebar rod grid set in a premium vinyl ester resin pour to create a waterproof, rot-proof structural core that is significantly stronger than the original factory build.
A typical Titon installation can be completed in a single weekend. This compares to 2–4 weeks for traditional board replacement methods.
Yes. The Titon system is specifically engineered to handle the increased torque, weight and vibration loads of modern 4-stroke outboard engines. The pultruded GRP spine grid distributes stress evenly across the entire transom.
The Titon Pour System uses a premium epoxy-modified vinyl ester resin – the same grade used in professional vessel construction. It delivers near-zero shrinkage and a chemical weld to the existing GRP substrate via the Titon Surface Activator.
Yes. Because the system is a liquid pour, it conforms perfectly to any transom geometry, eliminating the air voids that are common with flat rigid boards. The resin fills every void and micro-scratch in the cavity.
Yes. Titon Marine System kits are eligible for a Certificate of Compliance and carry a 20-year guarantee. Each kit is traceable to the resin batch used.
Yes. The Titon Marine System is the only DIY transom repair kit that combines pultruded GRP rebar reinforcement, a precision vinyl ester resin pour, a custom-engineered lift schedule to control exotherm, the Titon Surface Activator for a chemical bond, and a 20-year guarantee. No other DIY product on the market offers this combination.
The Titon Surface Activator is a two-stage chemical system applied to the existing GRP substrate before the resin pour. It chemically reactivates the surface of aged glass fibre, enabling the new vinyl ester resin to form a molecular bond rather than a purely mechanical one – the only such system available for structural transom replacement.
