Whitby wasn't real big on backing plates. Mine are thru 
bolted to the flange of the deck/hull joint with washers 
under the nuts.

Can you just fill in the holes with thickened resin and 
'glass strands? Resin does shrink some as part of it's 
curing process, so several applications will insure water 
tightness.

Anyway, fill it, grind it, paint it. good as new. Ain't 
plastic wonderful?
