Hi,
I need to drill two half inch holes, one through the fibreglass partition between the engine compartment and the space under the quarterberth and the second one between the space under the quarterberth and the battery compartment under the quarterberth. It looks like the fibreglass in those areas is only about 1/8" to 3/16" thick. I would like advice on how to avoid the fibreglass splintering or cracking, such as would applying some masking tape over the planned hole, or starting with a small pilot drill before going to full size drill, etc.
Thanks for any advice!
