Was removing the 4 mounts on my bow deck for my HID driving lights last night and one of the rivnuts ended up slipping and I could not get the bolt out. After a lot of prying, cursing, hammering and a beer or two I finally got it out. Ended up wallowing out the rivnut mounting hole pretty badly. At this point, it's pretty much cosmetic but I'd also like to get the hole sealed up to keep water out. There is factory wood under that portion of my deck that I'd rather not get water logged and rotted. I fixed a few previous holes on my bow when I first got the boat with some JB-Weld. Work very good and was unnoticeable after done. This hole seems a little big for JB-Weld though. How would you guys fix it?
Here is the mess I created last night......
And here is what I had previously done to my bow deck. The PO had some sort of steel mount for a TM. I removed that and the "handles" and filled each hole with JB-Weld. Sanded smooth and primered afterwards.
