My kids and I went for a little "test" run after having repaired a cracked block in the boat. The repair held fine, no water leaks after about an hour at cruise speed(3000 up to 3500 rpm) Anyway, the pickerel are abundant so we're off on Friday morning to do some flat lining with the Dipsys. S. Most people find that they have to "redo" those repairs every so often. Keep an eye on it. If it starts leaking scrape it out and do it again. I think it's got something to do with the block expanding and contracting. PLUS, JB weld will eventually with time, log with water, and start to crumble. It's good stuff. But some people think it can cure anything from cracked blocks to hemmeroids. Yes, keep an eye on the repair. it can break loose. |
