I am surprised you didn't put a coat of paint on the transom before getting the pod put on. Is there a reason for that? Low maintenance

Yup, there is a reason for not painting it first. The gelcoat has a stronger bond to the fiberglass then The paint would to the gelcoat and when the pod is glued and bolted to the transom I would rather it be stuck to the gelcoat instead of just the paint that is sticking to the gelcoat. I'll paint the hull when it comes back

Starting to draw out plans for the interior seating and cabinets., what thickness plywood should I use? It will be fiberglassed and gel coated when its all done. Another question... do they make microwaves for marine applications?

I usually use 3/4 but since your glassing it you could do 5/8 or even 1/2 with a bit of engineering. I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

No they don't make them(microwaves) for marine applications. You would have to go the inverter and battery route. It can be done- Davis Boats out of Monterrey does it as their main cooking source. Probably just have to have your main engine running while the micro was on so the batteries didn't get drained too bad.
