I took the advice of filling in the misplaced hole and redrilling, seems to have worked just fine.

Another question-When I am drilling holes in the boat for deck fittings, etc. sometimes the fiberglass right at the edge of the hole looks like it gets "starred" or lifted a bit. Does this happen to anyone else? Should I fix this somehow? Does this mean that the fiberglass on the entire boat is not really adhering too well?

Thanks a million for all the help.
