If it was I I would take a dowle and cut it like 1/2 short, then I would coat the dowle with 5200 and hammer it in. going in 1/4.
This would give me 1/4 on each side. Then fill with Marine tex, or Formula 27 sand and you are done!!

Yo Kajun, thats a great fit. We had a V-18 /w a 115 Merc (same as Mariner) and it was a great boat. My Dad ran it without oil after about 1000 hours, had it rebuilt and put another 500 on her before he sold it to buy his new Aquasport 215 EX. Funny thing is he is still looking for the right V-18 cause the Aquasport is to big for him to single hand.

well i hope it last me that long ..thanks for that i was starting to have buyer remorse before i even bought it lol ;D....i'm kinda wondering how it has 110psi even on all cylinders..would seem like it would have worn down somewhat alil uneven..and the guy said it has low hrs...and if it did...why is it at 110?...the other thing i'm depressed about is i couldnt talk him down lol ;D he was a tough cookie to crack.....me being the cheapskate i am...dont think i got a deal unless i can knock off atleast a $100 lol

Kajun,
Make sure you use hardwood dowels to fill your boat holes. Clean out the holes very well and cut the dowels a little short (1/4"). Coat the holes with 2 part epoxy and do the same with the dowels. Install the dowels and recess them the 1/4", let them set up and then use Marine Tex to finish. That's how I've done them in the past. Good luck.
