This is a great machine for it! I just posted a TH-cam Short today showing a weld repair on a pontoon that I did this morning. So far I’m very happy with this machine.
great vid, I just got one of these so trying things out. Had the same issue with start, runs for a couple secs and arc dies. I'll try adjusting the cable and see how that does. Thanks!
It’s the YesWelder foot pedal. It’s sold separately. Lots of guys tell me to use the trigger function or get a finger trigger to lose the foot pedal but I love the foot pedal…not ready to change that yet!
Nice job looks great to me. I need to learn to Tig weld. But my spool Mig welder did great on my pontoons welding the transducer and livewell pump bracket on the toons.
TIG has its places where it can do what MIG cannot. Repairing leaks with a MIG can be a nightmare, but TIG can melt the parent metal evenly and seal things right up, even on real thin aluminum like pontoons. Plus it can look really pretty too!
@@omieyouknowmeMIG is great for certain stuff, but if I could only have one it would be TIG. More control and can dive right in and weld no matter thickness. Plus nothing beats beautiful stacks of dimes on aluminum!
Thanks for tuning in to the channel! This welder has high frequency starts instead of lift starts or scratch starts. I prefer high frequency starts as you can really get into position and hit it with precision. I think this welder can lay in the same welds as any high end welders. I weld with a Miller Multimatic at a local marina for lower unit repairs and it is amazing to weld with, BUT I can lay in the same quality looking and penetrating welds with my YesWelder.
I want to try and learn to weld so I can make brackes, repair cracks or holes in the toons. Good intro to it.

I haven’t had an issue with it since. Been using it a lot on my current boat builds and pontoon repairs.
what foot pedal do you use? did it come with

C4TT!
Sold my alum tig. Use the MiG way more. But there are times a tig comes in handy for really thin stuff
@@J.W.W.thanks!😊

Hello, like your vids. Does it do scratch start? And is it good for practice pipe welding? Thanks

@@tomspontoons okay thank you so much. And I meant like can it do scratch start or only HF start?
@@LouHemi Only HF start for AC TIG as far as I know. I haven't seen the option to change that when scrolling through the settings.
