I just purchased a john boat...one of the storage boxes was made into a live well and I intend to remove it so I have more floor space.

The question is how do I go about patching the holes in the bottom of the hull used for the circulation pump? Don't know if I want it welded as areas near a weld tend to crack and this is on the bottom. there are 2 holes about the size of a 1/2 dollar each.

Do I leave the rubber gromets in the hull and just plug them somehow? If so with what?

Best suggestions please.

Thanks.

Are the holes close enough to where you sit at, that you can just put your two feet over the holes?

Ive used short bolt n fender washer on both sides n silicone so its water tight
