I had no time to wait for the JB Weld to cure. My solution was a
combined approach- sheet metal screw with rubber washer, then a sploch of Bondo over the rotted area, then 4X6 fiberglass cloth with resin. So far so good. Thanks all for your advice!

Cover with marinetex about 4 times the size of the patch area... cover with fiberglass mat, cover with more marinetex. JB weld can also work. Again.. patch it once with the chemical, cover with with glass matt and recover with more chemical. Jim wrote: If it's a pinhole, put a screw in it. "frank1492" wrote in message ... I have an '88 Grady White with a 4.3L OMC Cobra (I believe this is a Chevy Engine- 6 cyl.) The pan has developed a leak right on time for the holidays and I have no chance of getting it replaced now. The hole area appears to be at the end of the engine facing aft and is accessable. I am tempted to drain all the oil out, sand the area well and try a fiberglass patch. Any chance this will work? Or how about JB weld? Thanks. Frank. |
