If you are drilling fibreglass a good trick is to put some masking tape on the gelcoat and then drill through that.

This will help to keep the Gelcoat from cracking.

Also if possible use an air powered drill for this.

cheerz man..
will keep that in mind

wen u say gel coat.. u mean just the top surface of the fiberglass??

correct - gel coat is the 1st layer into the mould after the releasing wax/agent, then on go the layers of glass matting.

Providing your kit was made with gel coat that is. It's usually white
