Repair Advice on Achilles se-11 Inflatable

Looking for advice on a repair I'm doing. My inflatable was attacked by mice while in storage. I've successfully patched the others but this one seems like it's going to be a challenge. Would very much appreciate any advice!

The hole is about 12mm long and a few wide. It's tucked up under the left rear pontoon where it meets the transom.

Cut a hole in a spot with easy access and fix it from the inside.

Patch from behind...... You can cut the hole abit bigger leaving you a bit more space to fit a patch from behind.. I would roll the patch up like a cigarette then unroll once inside..

Just remember to glue the patch before rolling it up... Sometimes it does take a few goes..
