Question on your V5 Holly, are you putting the fuel filler back to the original location on the port side? My new V5 acquisition has the same plastic fuel filler insert that's all busted up and is needing replaced. If Jr is in the mood with his mad skills let me know. The DP one he made I have on my V5 SS.

We've never body puttied any boats just pushed out some dents from the inside, apparently body filler will not adhere to aluminum to well so we don't use it.

My son welded an aluminum bracket to mount the transducer on so we don't have to drill any holes in the transom, thanks for the idea Ron,.....Waterman
