Re: Fixing a hole in a aluminum boat joint
Welding is out, most times there is some sort of gasket material sandwiched between the keel and boat, you will never get it to weld.
Have you found the actual leak?
Put it on some saw horses and put some water in it(2''-3'') and mark exactly where it leaks, unless you can actually see a hole it is probably loose rivets which can easily be rebucked.
Gluvit is a great product but in my opinion it is a band-aid fix, the boat still leaks you just put a band aid on it.
If it is rivets get a buddy and rebuck them and they will be good for another 20 years.
