Thanks for the idea. Because of what's in that area, I am hesitant to think about permanently welding something on there. The fuel line with the bulb is in there along with battery connections. I am thinking of something that I can remove when we take the boat out and then put back on like the playpen cover would be more to my liking. My insurance specifically calls out the exclusion of coverage from vermin damage. The chewing was not too extensive to the point that I was able to fix it myself for now.Does the center toon on the new ones have an oval hole at the bottom in the motor area. Our 2007 has one and that's where the muskrats got in and had a party before we got our lift. $2400.00 worth of wiring (engine harness)and fuel lines. It was however covered by our ins co. When we first got the boat, the salesman told me to put a rock by the hole as it would let water in and out but no critters. Well I didn't do it and the rest is history. While my dealer had the boat for repairs I brought him an aluminum plate that I drilled 1/2" holes in and they welded it over the hole. Problem solved and you can't see it when it's in the water. Might be an idea for you.
