The hole only goes aft, the rest of the drilled hole is solid

Mine had a void too, just mixed up some thickened epoxy/cabosil, and pastry bagged it in there.
Glassed my new tube in while it was still green.

Thanks Zac, that is what I did too followed by filling the entire new hole I driiled with the same. I'll re drill the 1" hole today and see if I succesfully got it all filled in. If so I'm just going to replace with the brass tube method.

Got the hole filled and re drilled and it looks great. One last question, in the picture below, can I flange that as is or should I cut it down? The black line is the bottom of the hull. Itis a standard three inch brass tube. Thanks

Chance

I would consider something with more strength and wider flange like (Gemlux S/S).
Measure first with locking nut tight in place and flush against your inner liner. Cut the threads down then reinstall, seal it with 4200 and keep an eye on it. Flexing could slip between hulls & crack weaker type tubing.
