Can anyone point me to some good on-line info on plugging old through
hull holes in a fiberglass hull?

Any other advice appreciated. The yard wants 6% of what I paid for
the boat just to plug one and put a new backing block in another. I
hate working with glass but it looks like I'll be doing this myself.

Working on fiberglass is a PITA, especially the grinding
part. But if you do good prep work and put up a dust
barrier, it's not so bad. I f'g'ed over two uneeded thru
hull holes in our boat, this spring I am going to do two more.

The round gray spot is not the patch, it's the greenish area
below the gray spot. The gray spot was where some kind of
non-functional electric doo-dad had glued in place against
the hull.

One of the nice things about fiberglass is that it's not
difficult to make it even stronger (and lighter, if that's
an issue) than original when making repairs.
