After reading another thread about mounting holes for battery, fuel tank etc. I have an idea. Tell me if you think it's a crappy one. I know from mounting my Bimini Top, that fiberglass is mighty thin. Why not drill about a 1/2 inch hole thru the fiberglass and into the foam. Dig out a small amount of foam from around the inside of the hole then fill it with epoxy mixed with some filler material for strength. Once cured that should make a strong bond with added support where it is worked in underneith the existing material. Then make your screw hole for mounting whatever down thru the center of the strengthened area. Any thoughts?
Gorilla glue can also be used instead of epoxy to fill the void. One of these days I`ll make by informal test to see if it holds a screw as well as epoxy.
