New but need some help.

Here are some pics of what I need to fix. Do I make a mold? How do I make a mold? Can the fiberglass be molded by hand? ??????

I need help.
Thanks,
Ryan

What's The material??

Not sure what we're seeing here??? What is the material inside the broken sections? What is the orangish stuff on top? Was that some resin added previously to try to 'fix' it??

You can do this in a variety of ways, but you'll need a combination of glass cloth / mat and epoxy. Some temporary mold, even a piece of polyethylene plastic from a plastic jug, will probably be a good idea.
