Replacing 6 hole jackplate with 4 hole
I bought a atlas hydraulic jackplate for my 98 P3 bass cat I’m redoing. Removed the original power lift manual jackplate and it’s a 6 hole mount and atlas is a 4 hole. The last 2 botttom holes need to be filled in or find a 6 hole jackplate. Has anybody ever fixed holes in transom and how did you do it. Thanks.

Tape one side then make up a mixture of peanut butter (resin, filler, mek) n pack the holes.

6 Holes are for really big engines. What Okielure said works, the epoxy will never come out. I personally would add Cut Glass or West Systems 404 High Density filler first then thicken with 406 Colloidal Silica. Inject with a epoxy syringe from the bottom of the hole out so no air is trapped. You can tape a piece of a bleach over the top to help it cure smooth.
