Re: Installing NFB Steering Helm
 

skools ,gotta welding question for ya..my buddy has got a 92[?] 115 yammi, great motor except for a crack that has developed on the lower unit. Right where the front of the prop meets the lower unit, at about a 10:00 position, a crack started last year and now has moved at least an inch and1/4 foward. I think it's passing a little exhaust thru the crack because last time out on it I said it sounded different. Can something like that be welded or marine texed or JB 'd ?? Whattaya think???

Re: Installing NFB Steering Helm
 

you can stop the crack from moving anymore by drilling a hole in the end of the crack so it can't run any more. doesn't need to be very big just wider than the crack. then just fill with JB Weld you should be fine. That's an Old trick to do on circuit boards when they crack and it works well on metal too.
