I recently bought a 1976 Day Sailer II (#8098). I've been reading the forums and I can't see any other boat with this hole. Should I fill it? It seems like it just lets water into the bilge.
I also noticed a soft spot on the cubbie top. When I looked inside I noticed the rib was cracked. I plan on cleaning the area (dewax/degrease, anyone recommend a good product for this?) and epoxy a couple layers of fiberglass over the crack extending a few inches in all directions.

Thirdly, does anyone know a good product for removing rust stains from inside the cubbie? Previous owner left a rusty anchor chain in there for a couple years it seems.
Thanks,
Nate
