how big are the holes ? hobie had one dummy cap for wiring harness that came with torqeedo motor. probably 1 1/4 inch size. are they small holes from rivets that pulled out?

Matching material and a soldering iron.

Or mount a piece of starboard with pliers/knife holster.

ya i could, i wanna fill in all the little holes from old mounts first but the big hole i have no idea what it was there for, i know it was a ff but i assume that hole is not just from the wires but the screw holes are way to far apart for a flush mount holder. so i don't know i just wanna fill it in or get a new ff to cover it.

welding it would be tough to make it look good. I do not have any Ocean Kayak lime green or I'd offer you some scrap. For small holes I like to just nut and bolt em, they look like something stock then. bigger hole maybe a wire cap.

would patch and go be ok for the small holes?

I would leave the rivets in place and just buy some new ones and make holes somewhere else.

As for the fish finder hold... just contact the manufacture they should be able to send some to you at little to no cost.
