    Tig Welding - Painted Aluminium Boat with Motor Attached

    Hey,

    I've got a painted aluminium boat that I wish to do some welding on and was hoping someone in the trade could help me, seeing that I haven't welded on a boat before, only on a work bench.

    One of the areas I wanted to weld was the transducer bracket on the transom - it has plenty of holes in it now

    However the bracket is only 30cm or so from the motor and is also painted.

    The big question is, can I weld on the boat with the motor still on? and if so, how much paint needs to be removed around the holes I was going to plug?

    Cheers!

    I have had my boat welded with the motor on just disconnected the battery you should only have to take the paint off just a bit bigger then the area you are going to weld
