[QUOTE="Pector55, post: 468853, member: 25077"] I have a question for those who have patched holes. Basically, the previous owner had drilled holes in the hull to mount framing for wooden decks. He then coated these bolts on the outside, with some rubbery substance to seal them. I have quite a few 5/16" holes in the upper to mid section of my hull. What is the recommended / best method to seal them up before I paint the boat. 1. I have 1/4 rivets that doe not leave the hole in the center, and I have rivet washers. I was thinking of using these with the 3M 5200 sealant. 2. I have seen people also use the Muggyweld aluminum alloy brazing rods. I have no problem doing this either. Both solutions seem to work but just looking for personal experiences or recommendations before I start that work next week. I like the permanent aspect of the Muggyweld and it seems like the better option below the waterline. [/QUOTE]
