If it is a hole you can use aluminium JB weld, if used properly, and that will give you a temporary fix in till you can take it in and get a plate migged on. If you do, make sure they round off the edges. We've had the JB cold weld last all season, if your short on cash. Fiberglas does not work, it never did. Hope this helps.
