[QUOTE="Turd Ferguson, post: 466309, member: 24527"] I also noticed a small pinhole on the starboard side, looks like it was due to some kind of galvanic corrosion. It pitted all the way through the hull resulting in a nice little hole. Surprised I never noticed it prior. Not sure what the best way to seal this is, thought about JB Weld, some kind of epoxy, possibly brazing it, but in the end I’m probably just going to drill it out and put a solid rivet there. I believe that’s the best option, although it will leave a rivet in a noticeably random spot. But that doesn’t bother me too much. Here’s a shot from the outside of the hull: [ATTACH type="full" alt="603C651D-7940-443A-A325-42DAF5F22373.jpeg"]101994._xfImport[/ATTACH] You may not be able to see it too well from the outside. But, you can see the quarter sized area where the paint lifted and most of the corrosion took place. You’ll get a better look at the actual hole from the inside in this picture: [ATTACH type="full" alt="60E4C69E-5C1F-42DE-853B-C287B9DDB6C2.jpeg"]101995._xfImport[/ATTACH] See that little blue spot towards the middle?
