hi again,

I've got yet another interesting question which some of you with more
experience can likely say a few words to... I was out testing my project
boat on the trailer, and ensuring the bilge pump would work right by putting
the plug in the boat and filling the back end with a few inches of water.
Well the bilge pump works great, however, when putting the boat plug in I
felt that the wood between the inner and outer fiberglass was a wee bit
slimy and the hole perhaps not as narrow as I'd like to have to ensure the
plug stays in securely.

What can I do here to fix this up?

An idea was to get some fiberglass resin and put a thin coat in the hole as
to seal things, narrow up the hole width, and strengthen the inner hole for
the plug.

Or perhaps a newer plug would be a big thicker...

btw, the boat is a 70's era 15.5 fiberglass.

I feel that the rest of the transom is fine, just this part around the hole
seems to be a bit questionable.

thanks
Chris
