Old hole filled and a new one 1" outboard is complete.

I stopped by the local hardware store and picked up a pipe plug on the way home. I threaded it in as tight as I dare turn it. I then cut it off close to the beam and ground it pretty close to flush with the tube. I then peened the edges of the plug with a ball peen hammer to help make it flush and to lock it in the tube.

Next I drilled and taped the hole for the Zerk fitting.

Next I sanded the old paint, added a shot of etch primer, and painted the beam. I threaded the Zerk back in and it's ready to go, again!
