Patching up an aluminum boat?
#4
Long time way back ago, a common fix for small holes was to "rivet" a lead shot into the hole. Today, I think I'd just add a smear of JB Weld.

For larger holes, use a piece of bronze screening as reinforcement, coated on both sides with JBW.

For an even stronger repair, use pop rivets and a sheet of aluminum stock, with sealant around the original hole and under/over the rivets. If you put the repair sheet on the outside, water pressure will help seal it.
