NNFD197 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I have 6 holes, 3 on each side of my center console left after the removal of my grab bar. Looking for ideas, thank me in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 If you are looking to just secure and seal the holes, Loctite makes a good epoxy. Most Lowes carry it. It will take two or three applications and some sanding but it is very easy to work with and sands down smooth very easily. The color will not be perfect but is some shade of white. I used it when I relocated my cooler hold downs. Worked well. If you want the holes to disappear, find an experienced gel coat guy or gal. They can be made to completely go away with the right person and some cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuddyBottomBluz Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 This should work fine, easily sanded and almost a perfect match for white gelcoat. After fine sanding then go ahead and buff it out. https://www.bottompaintstore.com/Gelcoat-Repair-Putty?gclid=CjwKCAjw7J6EBhBDEiwA5UUM2i4hX044LzQU1bPkasTbJTT4GamhNX8mPVi4sSqbcxIuctMClf-IXRoC2XsQAvD_BwE It comes in a pint size. The link is just for show, it can be found much cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyB Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Honestly a beauty washer and and nice flat screw would look as good as off color gel coat. Just google beauty washer and you will see the standard stainless ones and some spiffy colorful ones too. I have used the standard stainless ones if the past but BradM recently showed me the new fancy ones out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Ditto what HoneyB said. You might want to reuse them down the road and they will be available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanjj Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Marine Tex also works. It’s a two part system. It’s easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Jazzy Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 I just done this and used the gel coat repair kit. Had to fill in where the old grab bar was plus a few more. Can’t see them now. Color is Oyster White 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernWake Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Go buy some color matched gelcoat, put some masking tape on the backside, apply gelcoat (may take 2 applications to fill), sand and buff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
