The "transom" is the back of a boat or ship. For a small boat, an outboard motor might be attached to the transom; for a sailing vessel, the rudder may be attached to the transom. An example sentence might be:"We were on our way back to the dock when a fish jumped over the transom and landed in the boat!"
An outboard motor generally is attached either directly to the transom of the boat, or to a bracket that is attached to the transom of the boat.
The transom on a boat is the stern on which an outboard motor can be clamped.

Transom
Boat builders manfacture their crafts' in three basic transom heights. The transom height is measured from the top of the transom, (where the engine bolts on), straight down to the keel, (bottom middle), of the boat. A 15'' transom would require a shortshaft engine. A 20" transom would need a longshaft outboard, and a boat with a 25" transom, would require a extra longshaft engine.
A transom plate is a strengthened area used to attach an outboard motor to the rear (or transom) of a boat. see the related links below.
