Hi guys so the 1/2 foot below water line hole is about 1inch wide and 1 1/2 deep with at least 1/2 inch wood core in the middle and fiberglass 1/2 inch inner outer layers. the original hole was 3/4 and don't know what was used to plug it since I didn't do it. Had to enlarge because the Laurence 3d Structure transducer cable ending is that wide.
I will make the hole round with a hole saw and I wanted to know what to use to plug it with the cable going through.
I can cut a dowel and epoxy it but what epoxy to use to also do the inner exposed wood.
Then do I use resin and fiberglass cloth in layers on a beveled surface if so which is safe to use epoxy or polyester resin?
And then the gel coat or whatever to get some kind of closeness to the blue color. Maybe use a neutral one and mix in a color additive, don't know.
Have been reading for 2 days and haven't seen anything that shows all this.
I need to use this in salt water by the way.
So any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
