Filling holes in the transom of a glass boat

[Paulywood]

When I bought my boat there were 3 transducers on the transom. I want to install a piece of Starboard to mount any new ducers to. In order to do that I had to fill all of the old holes. I also found a broken off screw underneath one of the ducers. Here is what it looked like after I removed all the ducers.

Here are all 13 holes that need to be filled.

When I bought the kit it was suggested that I cut out some plastic and tape them over the holes. I cut the plastic pieces out of the package the kit came in. I had them ready to go before I mixed the epoxy. I mixed it according to directions and filled the syringe that comes with it. 1 set of epoxy was more than enought to do these holes. I didn't have time to stop and take any pictures while filling the holes. But here is what I ended up with.

Tomorrow I'll take off the tape and let it cure. Optimum curing temp is 70 degrees for 24 hours. Since it's colder I'll leave it alone for a few days and then sand it. I'll use white epoxy over the top to fill any gaps, scratches and chips. Then I can polish it up and it should be good to go. I plan on redrilling out the epoxy for the cable ties. Drilling into solid epoxy will make sure no wood is exposed. When I mount the Starboard I will put epoxy in the screw holes to seal them also.

That looks good. And you will like the starboard plate, no more holes in the transom!

Can't wait to see the final pics.
