Use aluminum pop rivets
"Glenn Ashmore" wrote in message news:uPcRd.68211$2p.61883@lakeread08... Don't weld. Use stainless pop rivits or bolts. Welding will weaken the area around the weld and result in cracks. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite. Watch my progress (or lack there of) at: http://www.rutuonline.com Shameless Commercial Division: http://www.spade-anchor-us.com wrote in message oups.com... 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? |
