Hi Folks,

Perhaps someone could help me. I removed the swim platform from my
transom and now have a few screw holes to deal with, on of which sits
below the waterline.

The genius at west marine told me to use Marine-Tex putty. It will not
enter the holes due to trapped air. Has anyone used a more liquid epoxy
with a syringe? If so, please hook me up with brands.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your suggestions!

The genius was right. Marine Tex is wonderful stuff. You don't need to fill
the holes completely, but if you want to, you can coat pieces of tooth pick,
or whatever you can jam into the holes, with Marine Tex. Make sure it is
countersunk enough so that you can finish off with a coat of Marine Tex or
gel coat. Or you could hire a fiberglass guy to make those holes disappear.
