Yes, you are worrying lol !  Slap it on, but consider the thickening agent. Microfibres are ok, but a better solution is to use an offcut of chopped strand mat.. cut with scissors to around 1/4 inch length or less to make a small pile of tiny strands.. mix with the epoxy and use that. Better than microfibres for its use. Use a teak or similar wood backing plate shaped to the hull curvature and bond that in with the same mix prior to drilling.. coat pad with neat epoxy.. (Grind hull inner first with course sanding disc) Luvverly job..
ANother tip is to get a piece of thick card, cover with clingfilm, tape to the ouside of the hull over the hole to make sure the outside is neat.. when you have drilled the new hole through the epoxy and wood pad, give it a quick coat of unthickened epoxy to seal it - seal the transponder with polyurathane adhesive sealant..
Happy days.l
