    Filling in small screw or bolt holes in your Transom under the water line?

    Hi Folks, Question. I have a few holes in my transom they are there for some screws or bolts that held an old trolling motor. Some are below the water line. They are pretty small. Do I need to back them with Fiberglass and fill with epoxy? Can I just fill them with epoxy like Marine-Tex only?
