Hi guys, I'm a newbie with what is probably a stupid question for most of you, but here goes....
There is a hairline fracture in topside of my suction housing/piece about two inches up from where it mounts to the intake and it is about two inches long but doesn't go all the way through to where it can be seen on the other side like when you look at it from inside the boat. I noticed it while I was inspecting and replacing loader bolts this winter. Can this be ground out a bit and welded up? If so are there any special instructions I should tell my welder dude?
