JB Weld Marine, and small circle of aluminum over it. It will probably only last for ~3 years.

Believe it or not you can clean that up good and sand it rough, then get you some fiberglass in a kit from the parts house and make you a fiberglass patch. If you do a good job it will be years before it gives trouble.

It's up real high on the side. I can get away with some sort of patch easily.

Why did you shoot a hole in your boat?

I'm sure a big bad spider got in the boat with him.

There was a cleat attached to one side with nuts and bolts. I removed it and discovered that one of them had been wollered out.

The bolts,nuts and washers.Thats your best route.Mine has 4 and no leaks in 15 years.You can get rubber washers and skip the silicone.

Spool gun quit working? I have not done so, but I have been told that you can buy a certain alloy wire that will push up a 10 foot standard lead. FWIW. I sort of like our 25' push pull rigs. laugh but a small spool of that stiff wire might do to fix yahoos boat with. Argon for shielding gas, but you prolly already knew that.
