    Took rails off a 92 285 Pro. What to fill holes with?

    Hi all,

    I know that there are some out there that have taken off the hand rails off either side(top of the Boat) to make it look sleeker and follow suit with the newer boats. I am curious what you would use to fill in the quarter size hole and the small screw holes. Thanks guys!

    I think i would have figured that out before i took the rails off. Marine Tex for the small holes. Not sure about the big ones.

    +1 on marine tex. Bigger ones may require some glass mat and resin.

    I've stared at mine. Then decided they don't look too bad. (I thought about how I would fill the holes and have it look good before I did it.) I'd like to see how your's looks
