Thread: Hole in Aluminum Boat

I would take it to the salesman you got it from, and see how sweet a deal they can give you.
A happy customer is a return customer, they say.
And they know you will tell your friends what great fellers they are at Ranger!

Is that insulation ( foam ) in that hole to the left? If not I’d take to local shop that can weld aluminum. If it is you may have to take back to factory. Would require removing deck, remove foam, weld then re foam inside.

There’s no insulation near; the hole is near the rear of the boat and accessible from the battery/pumps compartment. I disconnected the front live well pump to discover where the leak was.

Ranger dealer I bought it from is 5 hours away and they said I’d have to take it to the factory.

that looks like a bullet hole !!!

I'd take it to the factory if you can possibly make the trip.

If no possibility of fire in foam I’d search local for a good welder and have him take a look at it.

That is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Or a gouge of some sort. At any rate it is going to need welding..
