I purchased a boat that had a trolling motor mounted on the bow and has since been removed. How does one go about repairing those mounting holes in the hull?

Re: Hull repair

Fiberglass, aluminum, wood.......... what are the holes in?

You could use a marine epoxy stick and tear off a chunk, knead it and stuff it into the holes........

Back the holes on the underside with a small piece of fiberglass cloth and tape it there and fill the hole with resin from the top then use a gelcoat repair to hide them forever.....

In an aluminum hull you could have them welded up or use PC-11 or JB weld to fill them......

There are ways ;)
