Need Any Welding advice?

Typically you will need to heli arc it back together. For those type parts usually 4043 or 5356. When you hit it with heat if it has greenish tint use 5356 otherwise 4043. And you MUST preheat with a torch and grind out crack rounding all corners where grind groove meets OEM. I have weeded up a bunch of them this way.

All this trouble started other day, the day before the BIG bass tournament! He luckily found a boat shop that had a new thing, and put it on at 6 pm that evening!
The kid is a vo ag teacher and they have a pretty good shop teacher. Hopefully he can keep this cracked one and repairit and keep for a spare. The outboard is really big and heavy and those tournament bass guys run like Nascar drivers! The new thing is the same but way heavier material!
