[QUOTE="lckstckn2smknbrls, post: 418753, member: 850"] I repaired several 3/8" and 1/2" holes in my transom above the water line by taking a 5/8" countersink bit to bevel both sides of hole. Then I made 1.25" patches from .025 thick aluminum. Back buttered the patches with JB weld and used masking tape to hold the patch in place. I put more jb weld in the other side of the hole and covered with masking tape. Then I used a 2 screw wood clamp to apply pressure to the patch. After the jb weld cures sand smooth. [/QUOTE]
