Repairing screw holes

[Mroth]

I’m moving my shower head to another location. Removing the existing mount will leave a couple of screw holes that I will want to fill. I’m wondering if I should go through the effort of using a vinyl ester resin followed with some gel coat, or just go with a white epoxy  

If anyone has any suggestions for a product that yields a decent cosmetic finish I’d love to hear about it  

thanks 

Marc

Hello @Mroth, this is not truly my area of expertise, but given how many holes are drilled in OTT installation processes, and that I have removed many of the old-tech products on our Oliver, I've filled way too many holes!

I've used this epoxy based product and the color match is good. It's just a touch whiter than our older hull and I've read somewhere that the newer hulls are a tone brighter. I would say this product may work well for your purpose in the shower. It's simple and inexpensive.

I have also plugged the holes made for the TV mount, the drain pull handle in the bathroom, the door hook outside, both cameras and everything in these pics (see before and after).

Wow, that turned out great. That is the product I was considering using. Seems very popular with boat owners. Seems a lot simpler than mixing resin and catalyst. I was wondering how well it would match. 
I’ll give it a shot. 
Thanks

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the color match, I'd guess that you could lightly sand out some of the Marine-Tek and coat over it with the appropriate color gelcoat.  Note - Oliver can tell you what type and color gelcoat is on your Ollie.
