I have a small hole in the area where the mirage drive sets. Here is a link to view the damage.


What is the best way to repair this?

Open your library in photobucket. Move your cursor over a photo and click on the 3 horizontal lines. Then click share. Options will then come up and all you have to do is single click in the IMG section, and it will copy the image.
Then just paste into this forum.

The product I've used in the past with great success is West Systems 655K gflex epoxy. It's for plastic boats. Amazon has it and I believe West marine stores also carry the product. I would also recommend to use a little fiberglass cloth for added strength. There aren't many products that work on this type of plastic but if you follow directions carefully, you will have success in fixing your hole.

I would weld it with a heat gun with a small end on it. I fill all kinds of holes and deeper scratches on my boat all the time.

You should put in a warranty claim with Hobie. They are usually pretty understanding of holes below the waterline.
