You should tap for soft spots using a rubber mallet, check the seals and look for staining. Moisture around the transom can be common with older boats. Try to seal gaps or re-caulk if the damage is minor but if it's more than that you may need to replace the whole transom wood but for that i would prefer a professional to do that.

Moisture is a common issue and can cause rot if left unchecked. Use a moisture meter or poke around with a screwdriver to find soft spots. If it's minor,
sealing it up might work, but bigger damage means some repairs or replacement.

How deep were your moisture readings, and did you check from both inside the bilge and the exterior of the transom? That can help narrow down whether it's surface-level or something deeper like core saturation
