I drilled my holes a 1/2 inch larger than my motors bolts. I then hotcoated the holes and taped one side closed. I then filled the hole with thickened resin and then glassed 2 patches of 1.5 csm on either side. The next day i drilled the holes to the actuall bolts size leaving 1/4 ring of glass around the bolt hole. Now this is the extreme end of the spectrum! And almost a little radical. Hot coat with West Systems 105 then use 3m 4200. I used 5200 on my first motor i mounted on my boat....when i took it off to put my suzuki on it pulled the paint and some gelcoat right off. I would west systems and 4200 if i did it again. If yo dont have west systems use a vinylester resin or a thinned polyester resin
