I filled my old holes with "Splash Zone". Similar to working with Bondo. I like using screws for the track. I had a molding "bump" in the track's casting that would not cinch tight as I attached it with screws. Fortunately it was at an area that I could get some clamps on it. I clamped it tight an left it alone for a few days before I re-installed it. The same with the 6" returns that get mitered cut installed over the transom. Bowed badly, so I shimmed the two outer edges on top of some plywood and put a screw in the center to straighten the piece, and left alone for a few days. I prefer installing the rubber any day of the week than working with the track.
