[QUOTE="panFried, post: 281145, member: 9467"] So heres problem #2. As I prepare to sit and wait on multiple coats of spar varnish to dry, I thought I would start sanding and prepping the boat for paint. So the first thing I run into is a hunk of rusty angle iron used to support a bow handle which is being used as a point to click the trailer strap too. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0550.JPG"]42506._xfImport[/ATTACH] So I removed and wire brushed to find a stress point on the aluminum. Its not cracked/broken completely through but definitely stressed. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Img_0558.jpg"]42507._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Img_0560.jpg"]42509._xfImport[/ATTACH] Im thinking about using some aluminum flat bar and making 2 washers that span each hole, one for inside and outside the boat sandwiching the aluminum to relieve some of the stress from the handle. Ill give it a whirl tomorrow after work but if you all have any suggestions please let me know. [/QUOTE]
