johndk made a post in this thread: Size of pilot holes for 1/4" screws in transom?I just used a much larger bit (run in reverse) to countersink it and grind away the gelcoat about 1/16" around the hole. I saw that tip somewhere - hopefully it's as good as using a specific bit like you mentioned.

Or should I just fill it halfway and do the rest later? I've been trying to find official info on...

johndk made a post in this thread: Sticky steeringIs it likely that lots of hard turns would affect that? I end up having to pull kids tubing a couple of times a year (for the few years I've had the boat), and I worried that all the hard turns would do damage but the boat dealer and another mech...

johndk made a post in this thread: Correcting a pilot hole that was drilled 1/8" offset ?FYI, I read on some other forum that Marine-Tex can crumble after a certain amount of time (years I assume), and that West System epoxy is supposed to be the best. (Please (you or anyone) let me know if you think otherwise. I'm ignorant on this....

johndk made a post in this thread: Sticky steeringOkay I'll look into that. The rudder itself was supposedly greased at the end of last year.
