Fixing holes in hull

[Gmonkey]

What the best way a doityerselfer can fill some holes in the transom that are leftover from removing a transducer?

Describe the transom. Plywood? Aluminum? Fiberglass? Composite of several types? The best way depends on the construction material. A few pictures would help also.

Oh yeah,

It's a fiberglass hull. The holes are about 1/8" diameter. I don't need to fix it so that it looks brand new again, but I'd like to fix it permanantly.

Try 3M 5300. It's an adhesive/silicone that hardens.

That's what I was hoping someone would say. I have a tube of that already.

Never heard of 3m 5200. I've heard of 4200 though.

3M 5200 TAKES 7 DAYS TO CURE FOR REASON. iT'S PERMENANT.
