I will be removing a thru-transom fitting (located below the water line) that is no longer needed and is currently letting water seep into the transom core. The hole is about 3/4" in diameter. The transom is typical fiberglass and plywood construction. I would like to just fill the hole and be done with it. <br /><br />I'm not too concerned about final appearance, but I want a long term solution that will hold up over time.<br /><br />I'm thinking about doing the following:<br /><br />1) revome fitting and any caulking<br />2) rough up the exposed wood<br />3) bevel gelcoat on outside surface of transom <br />4) bevel inside fiberglass<br />5) fill hole with marine grade epoxy<br />6) sand the epoxy flush to both exterior and interior surfaces<br /><br />Will this work? Is there any thing else I should be concerned about?<br /><br /><br />thanks,<br />svdk
,, but you want it glued good..<br /><br />push in dowel so it's a SHADE recessed.. 1/6 inch.. <br /><br />let to set up.. clean up with vinegar an rag.. nothing works better..<br /><br />then fill recess with marine-tex epoxy putty ..available at any boat store..
