[QUOTE="Vermonster, post: 276372, member: 7992"] Prime the holes after they're plugged with the rivets. The resin will be fine for in-between the wood and the hull but a coat of primer would be fine. I think the resin provides water protection, but not UV, so you may want to throw a coat of paint on the resin afterwards (somebody should be able to confirm that). I think over-drilling the holes and filling with resin will be overkill to be honest - using the 5200 on your hardware should be sufficient. A transom with resin should last forever. Drill the holes Clean/sand them Seal your hardware with 5200 (bolts and rivets) - this should be fine for water-proofing the holes in the transom. prime bare aluminum with self etching primer paint (if you're going to) [/QUOTE]
