Hi all
So long story short, I had a leak at the transom brace of my Valco Westcoaster 15' boat. I had it "fixed" at a local welding shop, it was a long drawn out mess with 3-4 trips back to the shop to get it right. Well now it's like 6 months later and the repair has started to leak again. The repair consisted of a new plate being added between the transom brace & the floor. The plate has cracked right along the weld. (The black line in the pic)
I'm going to try to "braze" it up with some of this, https://www.aluminumrepair.com/land/index.asp?src=msn
Anybody used this product? Also would I drill holes at each end of the crack before brazing?
Thanks for reading.
