Honda-

Sounds like you're on the right track, I know there's more to it than what you've listed, but you're for sure heading in the right direction.

I'm sure you can do it, I know you're going to need some epoxy, not sure what you've got available locally but Rex Marine sells the stuff you need

It's the Heavy Duty Sea Going Epoxy Putty

Good luck!

Wife is going to get pissed three days off and i intend on spending it with my misstress boat getting as much done as i can I love you honey

Help me feel less foolish if you would....

Shouldn't the bare aluminum be prepped with some zinc chromate or zinc phosphate primer?, I have always had adhesion issues with bare naked aluminum to virtually anything.....

Not bashing the thread, you're doing an awsome job   

Unless the epoxy kits have an etching property, I would get an oxidization barrier on the intake...

If I am incorrect, can someone set me straight?

I am used to aluminum boats and have had to use some zinc chromate just to get my bilge pumps to stick in epoxy, that is until I discovered the extra strength hot glue gun sticks (the bomb BTW)...
