You need to dry it out really good with a blow dryer or whatever.....then rough up the surface really good with a 40 grit sandpaper so the resin sticks then practice mixing resin. I think it's one drop catylist to 1 once resin. Cut some 6 ounce fiberglass to cover the area. Mix resin then apply to transome on top of the fiberglass piece. Sand with 80 grit and repeat until you're confident the hole is patched.

Are your sure it is solid glass??? Why does it need fixing???
What kind of boat??? Just buy a bracket... scotch - tape it??
Only Way to do it right -
if you are going to keep the boat,
is to Remove the top half of the boat -
Yes - just like cutting it in half... This is so you can get to all of the transom from the inside
Now remove all the rotten wood - note: how the old wood was laid in, build your new transom and use a fiber bedding compound - for first adhession of new wood tooold remaining glass transom..
Yes I had to do it this way because transomes just get old and are not worth just a patch
If your outboard breaks off your transom while under-way = it could ruin your whole day and posible your life

You can buy repair kits from a marine parts supplier. The instructions for using the kits is all included.

"FIX" - how - what's wrong with it?
If you need to replace it - do an amazon.com search for "Runabout Renovation" - a very good book and worth the few dollars investment.
