Newbie question.
As I have to re-drill new mounting holes for new bow lights, speaker wire run etc do I need to plug the old holes with anything like caulking or some other stuff ?
Front speakers didn't work and as I followed the speaker wire along the toons and up through the deck board saw that they never ran them up through the plastic seat bottom. Wires were just crammed between the deck board and bottom of the seat. So I grabbed the drill and drilled a small hole up through w/o thinking that now I had a hole the goes completely through the deck board and seat. Not a big hole but now I worry that water will get up there.

Thanks

You cant do too much damage with a drill as long as you stay away from the toons. If you want to close up old holes just use some sealant or put some stainless steel screws, bolts, pop rivits back in the holes.

Agree- IMO pop rivits are the bees knees :watermelon:
