[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 99271, member: 55"] 5200 is no doubt the ideal sealer for sealing around bolts and other hardware mounted below the waterline, but I question the ability of it to patch a hole on its own, as opposed to it being used to seal whatever you patch the hole with. I have never actually tried patching a hole like that with sealant alone, so if someone else has experience with it, I am all ears, but I would be a little hesitant of using without hearing actual accounts of it's use. It looks to me that the hole is on a chine, right? That is a tough place to form an aluminum patch to rivet on, so I am almost inclined to say that I would get it welded, and those that know me know I am the last person to recommend getting a hole welded as opposed to a rivet on patch. Just my 2 cents worth. [/QUOTE]
