Good Tidings Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Good morning all....First of all, you have to realize the good Lord never gave me any mechanical ability. I just don't have the genes. With that being said, I need some advice. I attached a couple of pieces of Starboard to the side of my leaning post to mount a fire ext and a boga grip. (I found a bracket/holder for the boga grip online) Anyway, as I installed the startboard, I didn't account for needing to adjust them to keep the tray under the seat in the same holes. SO....I had to re-drill the holes to attach the tray. Now I have extra holes in the leaning post. They re under the seat and will be covered up by the tray once I finish. My question is, should I try to fill the extra holes in, and if so, what should I use...It will not be visible so looking "pretty" won't be an issue. Any and all help and suggestions would be appreciated. If I could ever figure out how to post a pic, I would....GO ahead & have a good laugh, then help me! Tight lines all....

imsnookyrd Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 you could mix up some JB WELD and fill holes but frankly I wouldn't worry about it if it were mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OUTLAW Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 My only tip would be . If you live where the temp drops below freezing , and water gets in there , it will expand and blow out the pipe . Could happen in north FL . 🇺🇸💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Tidings Posted March 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I wouldn't think it would be that cold up here in N FL...it's not supposed to be that cold in FL....I keep my boat in my "barn." It's not a barn in the true sense of the word, but that's what I call it! Hopefully it wouldn't happen. I might try to plug them a little....

THE OUTLAW Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The little weep hole , on the bottom , like suggested , solves the problem for sure . It only has to be like an 1/8" . 🇺🇸💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
