[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 145292, member: 1931"] I like to sand the area around the split. I then take a piece of aluminum that is about 1" bigger around than the split. I then push ut up against the hull and drill a few holes through the patch and the hull to put rivets in. I apply a coat of 3M 5200 and put the pop rivets in and pop them. The rivets will hold it solid and the 5200 will seal it forever. I personally do not like to use JB weld or any of the epoxy's on larger holes as they tend to crack under the pressure of the water banging under the hull. [/QUOTE]
