This is how I did the foam for my Kingfisher.
We cut each piece by hand with utility knives, glued the pieces together with construction adhesive and then taped them with aluminum tape.
The HDPE plastic trash bags over the foam sections at the stern are gasoline proof, "just in case" there's...
I had a similar situation on my Kingfisher, including a giant hole from a PO rod holder.
The fix was simple, I fashioned a small aluminum plate that fit between the gunnel edges and covered the hole(s) and then riveted it in place. Looks factory. ;)
Yeah, I also have the Garmin Striker Plus 4 and agree that it's pretty weak. :rolleyes:

I'd suggested that he clean the motor, so he added some Dawn to the water tub! 🤣
Just kidding! He added...
Buddy of mine picked it up and already has it running. He asked me to look up some parts for him and I'd like to know what it is besides a 25HP Mariner. Year? Model? And so on... :unsure: :cool:
Thanks! :)
The ID sticker isn't much help. :rolleyes:
