    What to use on failed weld on an aluminum hull crack

    I started by grinding down the blob of weld and getting two 48" patches of 5052 cut and bent to the angle of the hull runners. It took some time but I finally found a well-reviewed welder that was willing to do the job. It definitely was not an easy task he had, but he turned a real mess into a...

    1982 Evinrude Power Trim - Doesn't trim up but works down

    Hello all, In advance, I see how helpful you all are in other posts and I really appreciate any advice I may get on my problem. I have a 1983 bass tracker with a 60 HP 2-Stroke Evinrude. To my knowledge, everything is original 1983. My power trim has slowly become unresponsive when I trim...
