I took an old transducer off the bottom of my boat. What's the best way to fill in the two small screw holes?

The best way? TIG weld it.
Easiest way? Stainless nut and bolt with a silicone washer on each side. You could also glass it over.

You could use sealed pop rivets to seal it also. I would put some silicone over the hole and then pop rivet it.
