I have a 16' aluminum boat that I've been using for a while and I want
to customize some things on it, such as rod holders, downrigger mounts,
etc..
My question is do I need to take off all the electronics, including
30hp outboard, from the boat so that the welding doesn't affect/fry any
of the electronics?
My assumption is yes, get everything electronic off the boat.
Also, what alloy of AL should I be using?
If it's a typical aluminum riveted boat, the skin is too thin to weld.
Aluminum or s.s. pop rivets are a better choice
