I need to move the antenna mount on my center console. There will be 4, 1/4 inch holes. What's the best method for filling the old holes? (Just a quick fix, that still looks good). I will glass a piece of cloth behind the holes, and fill them properly this winter. When I have nothing better to do. But, right now, I need some quick and easy ideas. Thanks.

You might try to find some black rubber plugs, in the size you need.<br /><br />They should help keeping things looking good until you fill them in.

Thanks, I'll try the marine tex. I can't put the old bolts back in because I'm putting a bigger fuel tank under the console and they would be sandwiched between the console and the fuel tank. I don't want to puncture it.

use a ream or a half inch bit and just bevel the edges of the hole a little, it will make the patch stick better and also sanding it fair will be easier.........
