Right now it only has 4 spot welds holding from one side, the other side just flaps arround, and it allowes the lid to flex way to much if you were to stand on it.
Note to self: Aluminum boats don't like fat guys fishing in the back.
I'm open to any and all ideas.
Don't know If it will work on aluminum, but it sure works on wood. I would check and see if liquid nail would work to hold it. If not I believe J B weild would definitely hold it for sure . You might have to clamp it or put pressure against it (the weild spots on the hinge or lid) till it sets up or dries, but it beats drilling a hole in it and possibility of weaking it or taking a chance of burning your carpet with a real spot weild and having to take your carpet up...which would be a real pain. You should be able to find both at a hardware store, lowes, or home depot. Good luck
