Ha Yamtt;

As far as the center consol any lamination in that should be plywood and my guess not seeing your boat that should be all right. I had several holes in my center consol that held gages for a twin configuration. When I did my boat I set it up for a single so a lot of big holes needed to be filled in with material before using glass. I cut holes out of plywood and seated them in the big holes with epoxy and then build up to a even and smooth level with the remaining gel coat. I then painted the entire CC. As for the cap with the rub rail removed. I removed my cap from the hull and re did the lamination of the flat area that you might stand on and mount rod holders by flipping it over removing the balsa core and replaced used plywood. As for the screw holes that hold the cap, hull, and rub rail together if they are to big now would be a great time to repair them so when you re screw everything together it will not work the old screws out. On screw holes that don’t show much damage you probably would not have to do anything with them IF the rub rail will hide all the imperfections but it they have spider cracks I would hone them out to look like a snow cone and then fill in with epoxy. If the lamination on the top of the cap is soft you will need to replace it best way is like I did by removing cap form the boat and flip it over and work it from the inside our. If it is not to bad then you probably could just fill in from the top with our removing the cap. Go buy or go one line and get the booklets from “the west system” and use them for your guide I read them things several times before I started by project.
