How about that Marine Tex stuff. Just filling in the hole's with that after i get all the rubbery stuff out. Can that handle a 3/4" hole about 2 inches thick? Maybe do it in stages and build it up? I have filled screw holes with it and it worked great and hard as nails.

NO! for a hole that size you need some glass in it, not just a plug. Best bet is probably one coat on the outside, filler made out of epoxy wiht some filler, chopped glass or cabosil, and then a couple of coats of glass on the inside. You don't want that plug coming loose! |

I have done this many times, the best way to clean the holes is to grind with a dremel tool, till clean, don't worry if you get to raw glass!
Then like said above use a dowel of same size, about 1/2" shorter then the thickness of the transom, dip in resin to seal the dowel and glue in the hole, tap with hammer till it is recessed in 1/4 of inch.
Let dry top off hole and surrounding area with Marine Tex and you go to go!
Spread Marine Tex good so there is little sanding after, this stuff sands like Iron!!
Good Luck!

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Pretty much like what was said above, make wooden plugs, soaked in West System, tap it in with a mallet. For the plug, you can even use 3 layers of plywood with expanding diameter to match the holes. 3/4, 1, 1/14 inches in diameter... I did this with my transom as well...
