Hi to all,
I'm new to this list although not new to welding, got my certification on stick a while ago. I have an aluminum boat (34 feet long) and want to do major modifications to accomodate a stern drive in lieu of underwater propeller.
I will need to weld a plate of 1/2 aluminum series 5000 onto the bottom of the boat 3/16 and the side (transom) 1/8. I understand I will need to practice a lot with a teacher and get used to surgically clean the work area and get away with the wind but would I be able to do the work with a Millermatic 210 with spoolgun ? Its not cosly and portable.
I like Miller because the stick welder never fault for decades, can a Millermatic capable of 210 A weld 1/2 and 1/8 aluminum on a single pass ?
Any comment or recommandation is welcomed.
cheers
