hey bud , that motor that i have been having the trouble with is attached to the leakest john boat this side of the rio grand. i saw your reply on the other guys post. What is that stuff gluv it or something. yesterday when i took the boat out i would have been dryer if i was outside the boat swiming behind it. More like pushing it the way the motor ran twords the end ,if i did not sink from the weight of the cresant wrenchs in my pocket.(sorry guys inside joke) some of the rivets are loose and there are two holes in the bottom near the back. an old timer at lowes told me the way he used to fix airplane skin that got holes in it from rocks on the runway. he said that i should get that 5 min. epoxy and some alunimum. clean the spot up till shiney but not smooth and epoxy the alunimum to the hole . he also said to just epoxy the rivets and they would hold. well on the way back in the water level in the back of the boat was the same as the water outside the boat. if i wanted a sore but and wet feet i'd go tubeing down the verde river again out there in your neck of the woods. i did not know you could tighten rivets. dose it take a special tool or something. got to go, see ya.
