Can anyone tell me best thing to do with holes in cavitation plate after removing hydrofoil?<br /><br />Should I leave them empty, fit bolts back in, or fill them somehow?<br /><br />Would be grateful to hear whats the best usual method.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Ron

Re: Hydrofoil Holes

I run a trheading tap thru the holes and epoxy them shut. The threads keep them from popping out. You can use any number of fillers. 5-minute epoxy works nicely. Cover the bottom side with tape and fill the hole. :)
