Need to fill the holes and it can be a temporary fix as the boat is getting a huge makeover before much longer.
What are ya’lls thoughts on how to go about it…need to fill the screw holes and wiring holes on both sides.
replace the screws in the small screw holes using 3M 5200 on the threads. flush or “cap” washers in addition may be helpful as well.
the wiring holes can be filled and faired later during your redo.
In the interim, you may consider stainless steel plates to cover, sandwich with 5200 and use small s/s flat screws around the perimeter, 3 or 4 should do. paint over using the same hull color for aesthetics…
Fiberglass resin and cabosil. mix it to make a putty fill in the holes let it set good do a bit of sanding and gelcoat the patch.
