There were 10 extra holes where my motor mount was secured. They were sealed with silicone on some, dowels and filler (gelcoat?) on 4 others.
I removed the mount
Punched out the wood dowels, drilled all holes to 5/16” and beveled the edges.
I coated the inside of each hole first with thinned epoxy, then 404 adhesive filler thickened epoxy, buttered a 5/16” fiberglass rod cut to 1/8” depth of transom and liner for each hole, then covered with the thickened epoxy.
Once cured, I sanded all gelcoat off the area.
Used marine epoxy filler to fill in the holes, then tried using an epoxy gelcoat for the first time. This is a learning process. I made up too much and since it was nearly 90° when I tried applying it, it went off too quick.
It turned into cottage cheese and I tried to spread it. I’ll be doing some sanding and trying again.
