This makes aluminum boats easier to repair than other designs. unfortunately, all boats suffer impact damage, collision or hard-grounding that can lead to leaks and cracked seams. fortunately, special brazen rods have been designed specifically to patch and fill in holes on damaged aluminum boats, allowing boat owners to perform self repairs.. Diy aluminum boat rivet repair is very easy with hts-735-11 fluxless aluminum brazing rod from aluminum-weld.com.. I would appreciate recommendations and common approach to aluminum boat repair from you pros. my friend has an aluminum boat that is taking water between the bottom of the boat and the keel, so evidently there is a split somewhere under the keel..
