Hello!

What is the best method to repair screw holes that have been drilled through the hull? The previous owner had a fish finder installed and removed it.

Re: Thru Hull holes

i plan on using dowel material to fill the holes in my transom, drill to fit the dowel dip it in epoxy or poly resin, drive it in, like no hole was there, then fix the finished surface w/ paint or gelcoat. im doing a complete rebuild though, in your case may be a little extreme.

You asked for the best way to repair the holes? Dish out with a die grinder, fill with putty, glass, gel-coat, sand and polish.
