Filling Screw Holes In A Fiberglass Hull

[Never North]

I am looking for some opinions, or recommendations as to what TWO-PART products will work best for filling or plugging old screw holes in a fiberglass hull.Also, these holes will always be below the water line. I was thinking of using Marine-Tex Epoxy Putty.

Thanks in advance for any comments that are offered.

That would be my choice. How large are the holes?

Marine tex or WEST system

I am replacing my trim tabs the old mounting holes are 3/16.
I am plaining on drilling out and using marine-tex.
Whats West system.

Thanks

Epoxy. Gel coat if cosmetic.

If its below the waterline and you will be bottom painting over this repair, the epoxy will work fine, but remember polyester gelcoat doesn't bond well to epoxy, so once you go with the epoxy filler, you won't be able to properly gelcoat over the epoxy later on (but I don't see why you'd want to)
