Here, this is what you need but you may have to drill out the hole out a touch to make it fit or find one that fits you hole size. You push it in an it seals the hole and all you see is a round black rubber peice.

[quote=stuarbc;138132]filling with the screws is not a bad idea....but I think the silicone is the easiest route....appreciate all the help guys.....I've made a bunch of progress over the winter and will have to post some pictures soon.[/quote
Find a tap that will grab and put some threads in there. Aluminum galls easily on taps but lube it with WD40, kerosene or something like that and it will go in easily. Just don't use a tapping lube with trichlorethane, it will ruin the aluminum....or worse. Now use a short stainless round head machine screw and you'll have a slick rounded surface.

The ultimate fix would be have welder fill in and grind, buff smooth, but of course that'll be expensive
I am not so sure about that I was talking to one of our boat reps today from out of town their ttop guy is not real busy right now since boats are not selling .... It might be the perfect time to see if you can get a welder to fix it. they might be willing to negotiate more to get the work...
