Look above the USA flag in my avatar you will see a beige looking object. This is a tan colored drink holder which swivels on a gimbal. I want to replace. This beige one has two screws which are about 1/2 inch apart screwed into the fiberglass. The new replacement holders are white and have two mounting holes about one inch apart.
I wish to remove the old and seal the holes with something. There will be no need for sanding as the new cup holder mounts will conceal these older holes. I just do not want to leave any open holes for water to somehow finds it way into. Do I need something like (I believe it is called 5200 or 5250) to put into these holes?
To mount the new holders, do I need to first drill a small pilot hole into the fiberglass? I do not wish to put a screw in and then end up with stress fractures showing.
There is a picture of the screw at the link below, the old mount screws 1/2 inch apart, new screws about 1 inch apart, thus the reason for sealing old holes and drilling new holes.
