[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 356284, member: 10361"] That combination with PL will provide a reliable seal, but it will not prevent the joint from flexing. It needs to be reinforced with fiberglass to keep that union from being able to flex, the last thing you want is stress cracks developing in the aluminum.... that causes boats to sink. After you bolt everything down tight, step into the hull and see how much it still moves.... you will understand what I'm warning you about then. I built my jet jon almost 2 years ago, and close to 1000 miles so far, without a single problem. So while my way might not be the only way, it is a proven way. [/QUOTE]
