I have a 2012 Cutwater 28. The newer 28s have a cupholder next to the exterior sink and I was envious. You can never have enough cupholders! I cut the hole for the new cupholder and it works like a champ.

Do I need to seal the edges of the hole with epoxy to eliminate any intrusion into the core? Or, is the core solid? I could not tell by looking at it. The center of the piece looks kinda wood like but I'm not sure. I checked out the factory cupholder near the transom door and it does not appear to be epoxied.

Thanks for your assistance Tugnutters.

I cannot speak for the cutwater, or the other Ranger tugs, but on my ranger tug 21ec, they have a small amount of caulking underneath.
