Advice 1995 Montauk 17 Sprue Hole Cover

I will have lots of questions about the motor, jack plate and other situations. Right now I'm trying to plan what I want to do with it. I have a 2003 Montauk 170 which is in SC. This boat will be on the Texas coast. First question. The sprue hole in the anchor locker doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Any reason I can't just take off the cover and glass over it? Thanks Harvey (Moderator edited subject for clarity) Edited by Phil T on 04/22/14 - 7:43 AM

It is where they inserted the foam gun and one of the locations where the excess foam escaped. While you can re-glass the sprue hole it, why not reinstall the cover and caulk it. Keep it OEM.
