i have a crack in the oil pan on the bottom.there was leaking oil everytime i took boat out. after wiping everything down, thats when i found the crack on bottom of oil pan. just bought boat not too long ago. contacted old owner and they told me that they had the boat winterrized and that the shop in the spring did some work on it. they pulled motor to do work. im thinking that they sat the motor down on something and cracked it. i also think maybe they did a quick fix on it and gave it back to the owner without them knowing.. can i use jb weld to fix? and will it hold?

Probably not, I would take it off and have someone weld for you.

Would I need to pull the motor to take oil pan off? Or will it slid off from the front?

there might be some hulls where removing the pan would be possible.... but getting it installed and gasketed properly would require engine removal

spell check doesn't like gasketed? well.... :p
