two 1" cracks on the sides of my lower unit. welding shop recommendation?

[jqdusky]

AFternoon fellas,

I have some corrosion (shocker) on my lower unit of my 175.
I would prefer to weld it than go the jB weld route. One on each side about 1" long.
I would like to get them welded up before the cracks continue. Could someone
please recommend a shop that has done work for them in the S. florida area. I can take
the lower unit to them. Doesn't have to be mobile.
Sincerely,
J...

If the corrosion in the flange, is causing the split I doubt a welding shop would touch it. Alu. soaked in saltwater is hell to weld been there & and done that. Were it me I would find a used lower unit
and swap it out! Good luck on your venture let us know
