What do you guys make of this? Can this be welded?

Nope,..... Weldin' cast iron rarely goes well,.....

Grind it clean, 'n use epoxy,......

Is there any water gettin' into the oil,..??

If so, you need another motor,.....

No water in oil. Oil looks good to me. I was thinking of epoxy. Looks like I'll be doing that. I just wonder how long it will last and how corroded it is on inside for this to happen. Maybe time to sell boat and find an outboard.
