[my1stboat1]

Im hoping its not a serious repair However... i was installing my new 597 hummingbird Fish finder and It came time to install the tranducer. My boats on blocks so i thought cool ill do it now. After i made the marks and Drilled my 1st 5/32 inch hole a thought came to mind hmmm where is the bunk from the trailer going to sit so i decided to slide the trailer under the boat and wham thats when it Hit me... LONG STORY SHORT Can i just fill the Hole with 3m 5200 Marine sealant or should I fill the Hole with the same sealant and put a Screw in the hole aswell... Im confused, Worried and Pisted all at the same time for doing something so stupid...


thanks in advance
Mike

Loc-tite makes an excellent marine epoxy for filling holes... about $5 a tube at Wally World.

... even sets up under water!

Marine Tex will do. Just blow it out carefully and pack it in there. It's not that big of a hole. It's basically an epoxy.

Either will work fine, it's not that bad of a hole.

Definitely the Marine Epoxy and it will mix itself in the supplied "nozzle".
Don't worry, it's not the only hole in your boat, nor will it be the last one you
need to fill.
