How to fix a chipped fiberglass hull?

[JamesGY]

I have a few chips in my fiberglass hull. The first one in the front of the boat (right above where the winch hold on the boat) has about a 2" diamerer chip that is about .5" deep. Can I fill it with something? The original owner told me he hit the winch too hard while trying to load his boat onto the trailer.<br /><br />For the second chip, it is located on the right back side of the boat right where the strap holds the boat onto the trailer. This is a little chip that is about 1" and .25" deep.

Ooh, James...<br />I just went up to "search" and typed in 'fiberglass repair'. Before I hit the "stop" button, there were 179 returns. I'm sure there's an answer to your question in there somewhere!<br />Good luck!<br />Brian

Marine Tex will do both well. If you have never used it before I would suggest that you play with it a bit before putting it on the boat. It does sag until cured.
