I have a port on the back side of the dagger well but the crack is in the front. Too much of a reach there. I could always cut a new port in the front I suppose? Would that weaken the hull too much?

Since the stuff in there is so thin, would just like 3 layers of 12"x6" cloth w/ west epoxy be strong enough? I think I would weasel some into the well. I'm not concerned about looks, just need her water tight.
