Has anyone removed the tubes, and coated the exposed transom with a thin layer of fibgerglass cloth and epoxy and then covered with gelcoat?



I think he's talking about removing the brass tube and then lining the inside of the hole and surrounding area with fiberglass, then applying gel coat to finish it. I'd like to hear if anyone has done this but I'd be concerned about leaving a pin hole inside the tube or have a hair line crack develop that if un-noticed could cause problems in the long run.
