I had several of those on my boat - just ground them out with a dremel and filled them back in with epoxy and collodial silica mixture. It helps if you are painting and not trying to match sun bleached gelcoat

My preventer was a bit too short; I just bought an 8 ft length of 3/8". If I need more tension, I'll just tie a couple of knots in it. Still tryin' to figure out a way to shorten it with duct tape. There MUST be a way to do so.

I love the vintage jelly bean colors - I have a 70's car that's jelly bean blue. I'd love one in lime green (although my wife said she would not ride in it)
what's old is new again...
