[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 382517, member: 13957"] I need to seal the bottom of my aluminum jetjon boat without flipping it over. I have a 16' jon boat that has a jetski engine installed in it and I do not want to tip it over to seal the hull. I can get the boat up onto 4x4 cradles but I cant flip the boat without pulling the heavy inboard engine, anybody know a product that I can roll on upside down?? Apparently steelfex and gluvit needs to be applied on flat horizontal surface according to all the reports I have read. And yes I should have thought of this prior to installing the engine but I was excited for fishing season and wanted to hit the water first (oops). I sealed each rivet with 5200 but I have some other small leaks and the boat will take on about a gallon or 2 over the course of a day out fishing. If I can minimize this I will be happy and also provide a slicker surface for getting boat on and off the trailer. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! 8) Bill [/QUOTE]
