Removing Winches on a Teak Deck

Looking to clean up the winch farm on the boat, starting with the mains. There are 3 winches on each side of the mast, 2 have a dedicated rope clutch and 1 has a cleat. Looking to remove two winches/clutches and add a 3-rope clutch. My question is, where can I get instructions for sealing the leftover holes in the fiberglass and teak? I assume it is easy to fill the hole in the fiberglass with epoxy or some other sealant. I do not know how best to patch the holes in the TDS teak deck.

If its real teak, a teak plug will work well. Cut down to just protruding with a SHARP chisel, then sand flush.

How about the winches located in the cockpit. Where is the best place for dyi help on patching the holes in the fiberglass? Never tried repairing fiberglass before.
