I have a few holes that needed to be filled in during my transom replacement and wanted to show how it could be done with epoxy. I used JB Weld, but any two part epoxy should work.
First, I cleaned up the surrounding area and ground the edges at an angle to help the epoxy hold with a dremel.
Then, after cleaning both sides with some acetone, I put a piece of Duct Tape on one side of the hole. I filled the other side with some epoxy and let it set. It should be noted that a quick set epoxy should be used as this regular epoxy tends to sag on vertical surfaces.
After the epoxy set, I pulled the tape off and put one more "coat" of epoxy on both sides.
