I just updated my flush mount transducer. it is mounted flush under the step in the hull. the new transducer bracket screw holes are not as wide. I was able to use 4 of the existing holes on the right side of bracket but has to drill 4 new holes on the left side. I now have 4 empty screw holes under the step. I put silicon in them as I was putting in the screws for the bracket, but quickly regretted doing that.
What is the best way to prep and seal these holes to protect the fiberglass and gel coat since they will have water running past them up to 70ish mph?
Thank you
