Snap repair in fiberglass

[NE Zack]

Does anyone have a fix for the attached picture this is in a brand new boat I know warranty would fix it but I think it will be easier to do it myself then to haul it all away to the dealer. As you can see the snap is pulled out of the fiberglass floor

You could fill it with some resin, re-drill, then re-attach the snap.

Other members might have a better idea.

I bought a #10 snap kit, (Standard snaps screws are #8) It screwed into the larger hole and now works. Otherwise, resin and re-drill.

Epoxy resin sounds like the right fix to me too. I might be tempted to fix up the hole with epoxy resin even if I moved up to the next larger snap size just to make sure I wasn't leaving any weakness or damage in the deck.

by the way NE Zack, I'm impressed by the purple nail polish.
