The bolts holding the skeg to the hull worked slightly loose allowing water to seep in. I‘ve removed the skeg and before reattaching I’d like to renew the holes so the 5 bolts have solid holding. They seem slightly enlarged near the top. Has anyone had to do this and, if so, how did they go about it? What is the core material of the skeg? in advance, thanks for any insight and advice.

On my 84 H27 the skeg is solid layers of fiberglass; no coring material. If the skegs alignment with the prop shaft is good, simply apply a layer of 4200 or such between the hull and the skeg base, reinstall the bolts, and you are done.
