newb here, first post hope everyone is well.

Problem, looks like my transom had a wild man with a drill working on it. The boat is an 1988 and boy have the
previous owners drilled holes. Some holes have screws with silicon in them, other holes just have silicon pumped
into the holes and the livewell intake is silicon smeared with a cap. About 9 holes to fix.

What is the proper way to repair this and what products would be best ones to use??

Thanks, appreciate all responses.
 
The easy way to fix holes in aluminum is to put in solid rivets. Welding is an option, but may warp the stern panel. The livewell intake should be a proper thru the hull fitting. Silicon is ok for sealing, but paint won't stick to it without some effort.
