    My skid plate was also pretty much junk too. That plastic get real fragile with age. I tore mine off. The new ones didnt have it and the lower end seems alot thinner on them. They did have a u channel piece of metal that was under the machine, though.

    I haven't filled my holes yet but I think I was going to probably just put rivets back in. Make sure its a good grade marine rivet though. You could also use some sort of paint-able epoxy or any sort of body filler.

    u channel ? did that just run under the lowest spots like where the gears are at. the other thing is under then the axels i have not found any other rubber seals or silacone or thing to water proof it.

    I would go with larry on the holes and use marine grade pop rivets that seems like the most durable way to go about it
