[QUOTE="Wayne Roberts, post: 512261, member: 33834"] Well my friend.............everything mechanically speaking is generally repairable if your willing to put the time into it. The good side is you have the pride of the restoration when it completed. Once you have pressured cleaned the area of concern and wire brushed it down to bare metal wipe it down with mineral spirits, MEK or acetone and let dry followed by Zinc Chromate paint. The Zinc Chromate will stop any further corrosion,,,,,,,,,,(here is Florida I painted my complete boat(s) with green Zinc Chromate for total protection) and you are likely to be fine. Remember that old saying...."I've had a whole lot to worry about in my life and most of it never happened" If there is an issue it will leak first at the weak spot well before any possible failure, [/QUOTE]
