Fixing boat leaks..
Wha tdo you guys use to fix pin holes in aluminum boats?
In the past I've used J.B> Welder..and that has worked great..Well this last pin hole is in a pointy seam..and J.B. has not worked twice..
any ideas..I plan to put some Shoe Goo on today..I once used that to adhere an arator to the bottom of a cooler..It worked for about 5 years..I was shocked..

If it is they are small like around rivets and the like I use marine boat paint, it will get into the small cracks and fill them back up again.. Good Luck with getting them fixed Chuck..

chuck-fiberglass resin mixed and painted over the leaky rivet or seam will seal it also. just don't use an expensive brush, as it will be ruined. and they also make an aluminum rod you can braze the repair with using a propane torch- done that on my 12 ft. john boat with success also. just clean it well before brazing, and i painted it with aluminum primer and green auto paint to match. good luck, and keep catching those monsters--Bill

Took 1 minute Reb..The stuff is great for waterproofing jobs...I once glued down an aerator for well over 5 years in the bottom of an old cooler..It stayedglued the entire time..I had tried many other things prioir of this but nothing would hold the water pressure..
