Fiberglass question
I have a question for you guys. I have three options to fill these holes where my kicker bracket was. Should I,
1. plug with a stailnless steel bolt
2. plug with a filler, minor fiberglass repair, cover with name of boat
3. go for the complete repair, match paint and new gelcoat.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

you selling anyways.
put bolts in there and tell them thats whear you had a kicker. maybe the new owner wants one too.
probably look better than a hacked gelcoat job.

Use foam core to fill the void, not a wood dowel. (If water gets in the core the wood will swell up and push out on the gelcoat repair)
Chit, just saw FF's reply. If you're selling, just goop them bolts good and bury 'em for the next proud owner.

Fill the holes with a mixture of Epoxy and fiberglass. They have to filled right or they will leak water in and eventually ruin the transom.
Whether you redo the gel coat or cover it with a name is irrelevant.
