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.

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.

Spencer,

Thank you for the email. YES – The best way to fill in cracks, small holes, deep scrapes and gouges would be to use some polyethylene welding rod and re-melt it back into the area that may be missing in the hull. If you’d like, please send me your mailing address and we can stick that along with some instructions in the mail for you free of charge. Thank you.
