Repairing an aluminum fishing boat with a lot of small unseen holes.?
Apr 14, 2009 by toby_wat | Posted in Fishing
I have an aluminum jon boat that is rather old, but does it's job to get me around in my pond at home. It has a lot of little holes in it and I can't find all of them. The ones I did find I patched up with JB Weld Water Juncture putty and it worked GREAT....
hey man, you could fiberglass the bottom of the boat but that gets extravagant. most likely the leaks are coming from the seams around the rivits and you could fill up the boat with water (on top of some saw horses) and find about where the leaks are

Put the Jon Boat on top of 2 saw horses.
Fill it with the best quality.
Follow the slow "drips" back to the original leaks and then patch accordingly.
Faith this helps?
You COULD put sealant

Chances are your leaks steams from the rivets. What I'd mention is to sand the bottom with coarse sandpaper then fiberglass the whole bottom. It'll cost about 50 bucks but well worth it. Without sanding, the forsake won't have anything to grab to.

tip it upside down on the bank, get under the boat the lithe should shine through or at least you should be able to see the holes, weld putty you used use again as you have had luck with that all ready.

If your boat is leaking that poorly, the best thing that you can do, is to replace the boat.
After having spent over 50 years around boats, regardless of what repairs you prepare to an aluminum boat, you can bet that the repairs will be only a temporary

A two part Sea epoxy will fix you right up that stuff is great just go to your local hardware store and ask for it and they should be able to fix you immediately up.

Is there a special type of caulk specifically for repairing seams on aluminum boats?

Easy on the eyes much a MIG welder is the best. All sealants and caulking will be temporary - Sikaflex will work but you expect it to fail sooner or later. Only make application to the exterior. If a seam has split it needs welding. If one of the

May 08, 2007 by kenny h | Posted in Boats & Boating
i have a cleft in toward the stern of my boat. i need an inexpensive way to repair it.
this may depend on the rate of the hole, the location of the hole, but i certainly would not want to do a permenent repair with silicon, especially if the indentation is below the water line, or can get ripped off by fast moving water. epoxy may work,

I had to do mine legitimate two years ago I used a aluminum tented marine sealant in the tube because so many rivets had given way. Still floating and it was rather cheap. Then after you seal it test it then put your carpet if you like
