Got the old tower off. What to do about the holes?

[sooner25]

I removed the old tower and drilled the holes for the new one. What should I do about the holes? Should I take it to a repair shop or is there a way to fix it myself? I have some experience with "patching" fiberglass, but never anything like this. Thanks for the input guys!

My dealer charged me $75 a hole to remove the support mounts for my telescopic pylon. It was worth it not to have to deal with that mess. Of course, I only had 2 of them to fill. You'd never know where they were now.

So, do you guys suggest going to a dealer or a body shop?

Dealer first, but a good marine repair shop should be able to fill them pretty easily.

A lot of dealers will outsource the fiberglass repair and some have their own guys that do it. I would either go to the dealer or ask who he recommends.

Moki is right. just see what your dealer recommends

I just installed some pop up cleats where the old holes were. I had some polished plates covering them that the tower guys fabricated when I did the switch whole tower switch out. I had planned to have them filled but never got around to it. The cleats worked out perfect as there was no place to hang a fender right there. Now there is deicated fender hang.

It's not that expensive to fill them and any halfway decent fiberglass shop should be able to handle it. I'm guessing your dealership has somebody they use.
