Not the best picture but that swim ladder is gone. I took a grinder to the huge ball of hardened resin that the previous owner used on the transom to mount the swim ladder and its smooth. I repainted that half of the transom after I filled the holes with starbrite epoxy. I used the epoxy putty stick the 2 part kind that you mix together(http://www.starbrite.com/productdetail.cfm?ID=1462&ProductCat=Marine&ProductSCat=Epoxies%20%26%20Adhesives%20%26%20Caulks&ProductSSCat=Epoxies). That stuff gets hard as a rock! I took a nail that was the same size as the holes used for the transducer mounting screws and grinded off the point of the nail and used the dull nail to push the starbrite into the holes. That way i know that i didnt miss anything when filling the holes. After the starbrite cured i sanded smooth and then preped and painted.
