Re: pin hole fix

Marine tex epoxy putty would be best in my not so experienced opinion, I just did some patching, its great stuff hard as a rock even sands and paints nicely.

A bolt with 3M 5200 caulk is an option.

funny just yesterday I plugged old transducer holes on my aluminum boat. I just put a closed end rivet with 3M 5200 caulk. Im not worried.

Fiberglass,alunimum? If alunim,just put some 4200 on a bolt and put it in,with a nut and washer on the inside-stainless of course. Or have it welded.glass,epoxy,and paint to match.
