Has any one used any repair epoxys that can be applied under water ? Two products I have come across that claim they can be applied under water are PC MARINE PUTTY and STARBRITE EPOXY STICK has anyone used these produts or something similar ?? Pros and cons of each ? Thanks

I've used an underwater epoxy, but don't remember which brand. I purchased it at Boatersworld. It worked as advertised. I was able to shape it to fit the corner of the boat.

Good luck.

I also used them and was impressed with there durablity and ease of use. What kind of repair will you be doing? be careful about structual repair.

Nothing structual but on the end of my O/D, on the housing next to to the prop my mechanic said there is a small leak from a tiny crack, so small in fact that he needed a magnifying glass to find it and only showed a very small stain when the sun heated up the area and shows NOTHING when its cold out. I guess he knows what he is talking about. Any way he said I should use something to put on/in the crack to prevent water from getting in the O/D at the time I have no way to get the boat out of my slip and thought an under water epoxy would do the trick. Thnx for the replies.

I have found a few different kinds of epoxy and will post the results soon.
