if you can reach the spot from the inside, rough the area up with a grinder/sander. Repair with fiberglass mat under roving/cloth. Grind a slight depression around the hole on the outside. Repair with roving/cloth under mat.. Sand flush, gelcoat.
OR
Tape over hole from outside. paint gelcoat from inside then build up fiberglass repair with mat under roving cloth. finish outside with bondo/gelcoat.

Wear a good mask when you sand it down Yes, and tape up any clothing openings you can. For the repair finish: put some kind of gelcoat or marine paint over it. Unfinished fiberglass WILL absorb water.

And a cold shower afterwards to get the fiberglass off you. Very good advice. A hot shower will light you up after grinding fiberglass. Cold is far better.
