There are 2 models from '63 at 28hp - models 28302 and 28303. Model 28302 is a standard length shaft for 15" transoms and 303 is for 5" longer for 20" transoms.
The transom is the stern end of a boat, where you mount the outboard motor on a small boat.
The white strips you are referring to are called mullions (vertical) and transoms (horizontal). In older windows, the panes of glass were smaller, because there were not simple and cheap methods to manufacture and support large panes of glass. To make windows that were larger than the individual panes of glass they were grouped in a larger frame or sash, and separated by mullions and transoms.Some modern buildings use small panes of glass to copy older style buildings, and because it is now cheaper and more efficient to produce larger windows, sometimes fake mullions and transoms are stuck onto windows to copy the older look. Real mullions and transoms can add strength, support and security, but not if they are thin and small. Fake mullions and transoms add nothing, and arguably detract from the appearance as well.
It is recommended that glass transoms above residential doors be made of tempered glass for safety reasons. Tempered glass is stronger and safer than regular glass, as it shatters into small, blunt pieces when broken, reducing the risk of injury. Additionally, building codes may require the use of tempered glass in certain locations for safety compliance.
A horizontal crosspiece across a window is called a "transom." Transoms are often used for decorative purposes or to allow additional light into a space, typically positioned above a door or window. They can be fixed or operable, depending on their design and function.
The decorative area above a door is called a "transom." Transoms can be either functional or purely decorative; they often feature glass panels to allow natural light into a space while providing ventilation. In architectural design, these features enhance the aesthetic appeal of doorways and can vary in style and ornamentation.
An arched window over a window is commonly referred to as a "transom." Transoms are often used to enhance the architectural design of a building, allowing light to enter while also providing ventilation. They can be found in various styles, including fixed or operable designs, and are typically placed above doors or windows.
An extra long shaft outboard engine typically has a shaft length of about 25 inches (64 cm) from the mounting bracket to the anti-ventilation plate. This length is designed for use on boats with transoms that are higher than standard, accommodating deeper hulls to ensure proper water intake and engine performance.
In naval architecture, a transom is the surface that forms the stern of a vessel. Transoms may be flat or curved and they may be vertical, raked forward, also known as a retroussé or reverse transom, angling forward (toward the bow) from the waterline to the deck, or raked aft, often simply called "raked", angling in the other direction. IE: It's the top part of the stern, and the stern is the back of the boat.
