I have not seen this question asked so either it is not a good question for this forum or or or just not a good question . My plate above the prop has broken off and I am in the process of repairing it. I would prefer a painless (pay less) aproach . Paint has been removed and the metal has been prepped . The replacement parts have cut to fit . Instead of just fitting the missing peice in place I cut an entirely new plate , one peice to fit over the entire original . Of course there is a slot so that I can slide it into place . I did this because I am assuming that the new plate sandwiched with the old plate will lend to support each other each llending integrity to the other. Instead of the cavitation plate being about 1/8" thick it would now be close to 1/4" thick . This new sandwiched plate would be painted to finish . I know welding is the preferred method for attachment but here is my question. Might Loctite 5200 work in between the plates and up against the lower unit itself to hold it in plate . Holes drilled into the new peice would allow the 5200 to come through and form a better bond and also assure that a there is full coverage of ashesive contact throughout the sandwiched area. OK so without all the detail is this a feasable repair . Is this the wrong forum . Am I being so tight that I am depriving my brain of oxygen.
