Yes, if a bit structural ( like I did, replaced Barient 6 bolts with Lewmar
EVO 5 bolts ), put tape underneat, fill with clear/liquid epoxy w/slow hardener
so the balsa absorb some, then suck epoxy from the hole and then fill holes
with a mix of epoxy/silica ). Pretty strong.If not structural at all I would
just fill the holes with liquid/brushable gelcoat ( no epoxy to paint ). And if
you cover the hole from the inside ( or even the top ) with some small piece of
celluloid it willl be as shiny as new. Remember that gelcoat shrink a bit after
it's hardened..

100%, + mask over the top before you countersink. If you have a small
syringe, you can inject the material which is a little bit easier.

Counter sink top and bottom, tape over bottom of hole. Then fill with thickened

will crack over time.

filling holes in coachtop
Hi all,
On my 33-MK 2, I want to move the coach top winches about 12-18 inches from
their current location. The site I'm moving them to is a designated location
by design and the coach top is round and flat in the new location to allow a
winch placement. My question is, can I just fill the old holes with
unthickened epoxy or ............ what would be recommended?
thanks for your thoughts
