Heres what has happened.I wanted a boat real bad.So i seen one for sale.It was a jon boat a 10 foot.I knew nothing to look for when buying a boat.
Since getting it home I have learned some.But what I am looking at now is.
They are 5 rivets slowly dripping after doing the leak test.Like one drop of water every 3 to 5 minutes.
Then the drain plug part is bent so the plug that goes in the tube part is not making a good cover so it is leaking water.
The boat itself is a appleby i think its called.Maybe from the 70';s I believe.
I'm stuck with it for now So i got to fix these leaks.
I have been told of a product called gluvit, and also 3m 5200.
I really do not know what to use to fix these problems.
I also have a welder coming to look at it tomorrow.He is the only one that welds aluminum in my area believe it or not.
I am open to any suggestions.
This is my first ever boat and I really would like to use it.
Thanks guys
ive completely sanded it down with a palm sander.
