Patching Aluminum Hull

[YamahaRacer447]

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to patch aluminum hulls? I have a friend who has a couple pin holes and a minor scrape on the bottom of the hull. I am looking for something that doesn?t involve welding it shut. Thanks for all the input.

Do a search for the subject...there is a ton of helpful info about it on this site. A lot of guys use JB weld for small patch work, cracks, etc. and it seems to do a good job and holds up to the pounding that a hull takes.

Why are the holes there? Has the hull suffered from corrosion or has it been worn thin?
