[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 474092, member: 15636"] [b]UPDATE - New Scuppers[/b] Each side of stern has three 1/4x20 bolts, so I drilled in the top 2 on each side, smack dab in the middle of the epoxy plugs - [i][b]bullseye![/b][/i] Then drilled 1” holes for new scupper drains (in the splashwell) through pure epoxy, gooped them up, pressed in the new ones, and then flared it w/ my special DIY (see my post) flaring tool. So far I have drilled 6 holes through this new transom and not even 1 tiny wood chip has came out - only epoxy - meaning the epoxy plugs are fully integral, permanently waterproofing this new transom 👍 . I'll trim the excess goop (LifeCaulk by BoatLife) off with a sharp knife when cured. This product is amazing, can even be sanded or applied underwater ... cheaper than 3M 5200 too and lasts 2-3X longer in the tube.
