English term or phrase: Beam at chine transom
Beam at chine transom (planing craft)

It is a measurement to be entered as part of a form on a propeller manufacturer (boat details)

j'ai trouvé les termes bau, bouchain et tableau mais je ne vois pas comment traduire l'expression entière.

Merci d'avance de vos suggestions.

Explanation:
You certainly have some interesting questions, Corinne !

Once again my suggestion may be deservedly shot down in flames by an expert who knows more than I do.....
This is obviously a hard chine hull. I suggest we are talking about the beam across the transom at the waterline (ie the widest measurement between chines).
ie bau maximum au tableau arrière (coque à bouchains)
I don't know of any French equivalent for "chine transom" but somebody may find it for you.

This comes from the site I quoted :
"Distance entre bouchains au tableau (mesurée en ligne droite)"
If the boat has a hard chine hull, the transom is shaped to fit them : so it seems to be that the translation of "chine transom" is not essential here - it is sous-entendu ...

Arcasse : "stern timber, stern frame, transom" - (Guide des termes de marine - ed. Le Chasse-Marée - not always accurate).
I don't think "arcasse" is the term you need for "transom" in this case. It doesn't apply to modern planing motor boats or yachts.
Careful not to confuse "beam" (the width - bau) with "beam" (a wooden beam - barrot - which supports the deck).
"chine transom" suggests (to me) the transom of a boat with a chine hull - so your phrase means the beam (width, not a wooden beam) of the transom at the waterline (just above the chines - bouchains in French).
Hope that is clearer than it reads to me !

Just to make sure the terms are clear :
Beam = bau (=width)
Chine = bouchain (see http://rm-asso.org/rm1050_plan.htm for a chine hull / coque à bouchains)
Transom = tableau / tableau arrière
