    Takes on water over the transom while loading and unloading

    I enlarge the hole that apparently used to have the gps lines run thru is as it had an old crusty grommet. I've got some half inch starboard I'll prob lay down over the other holes and mounted my tablet holder the underside of the starboard and use existing holes to secure from underneath. I...
