Thank you for your responses! These holes are from what used to be the anchors that held down the coaming. I was considering filling them and redrilling holes, but I think I am going to use bigger screws with nuts and washers to hold the coaming to the deck.

I'm restoring a 1970 something sunfish and I have screw holes in my boat that are shot all the way through. I have filled all of the other holes with epoxy and I'm not sure what to do with these. I think that putting a sheet of fiberglass over the top is a bit excessive but im not sure what my...
