[QUOTE="Lukey27, post: 360995, member: 14843"] Hi guys, First time posting here. I recently acquired an old 14' Alumacraft from my father-in-law. It needs a lot of work but I have all fall/winter to get it ready for spring walleyes. I removed the old transducer from a previous fish locator by drilling through the rivets. It popped out easy but now I have two holes and it's only the thickness of the boat. I've been reading and want your opinion if I have the right stuff or not. JB Weld Steelstik (Steel reinforced epoxy putty)???? I want something I can smooth out because I would like to refinish/paint the exterior in the coming months. Is this the right stuff? Is there something better? Someone at a store (won't mention what store) said to put bolts through them with marine goop and a rubber washer. I thought about it but that won't make it flush looking, it might be a temp fix but I want a permanent fix. I'll be curious what you guys recommend. Thanks, Lukey27 [/QUOTE]
