Putting Floor Boat Screw Hole Through The Bottom Of A 17 Inch Speed Boat, What To Do?

Screw hole through the bottom of a 17 inch speed boat, What to do? - putting floor boat

I heard about a new floor on a boat 17 inches and I managed to screw were used too long and has been sent through the bottom of the boat with the ground. It is a small hole the size of a screw through the bottom of the boat. Will this make the boat sinks in reaching a speed of 40 +. The hole is located aft. What is the best way to solve this small hole (resin? Apoxy?)

You have the screws, which touched the hole, replaced with shorter screws removed. Then use part two epoxy, the strength of the resin deep into the hole with a spatula or chisel. That should go. If the fund invests more than 1 / 2 thick, you can use to drill a 1 / 4 inch and cut the 1/8in hole to give more depth to the surface to hold the resin.

17 inches is too small for a speedboat. I assume that means a ship model? In this case, it should be in the Sports category. Whether we are talking only a small hole, then the best solution would be to use an epoxy coating as Milliput. It adheres to nothing, it takes only 1-2 hours to harden, even under water and can also occur, grinding, drilling or what ever your needs are for now.

If the screw still in it? If so, it is not sealed? What boat? Fiberglass, wood?

I suspect that a 17-foot-would mean the boat. Or is it a model? I do not think a speed of 40 +. However, I could be wrong!
