Plugging holes in the transom

[macojoe]

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!

why not screw on a ball valve and be done with it? are you looking for a more permenant solution?

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...
