Re: Fixing Small Dents In Swim Platform
aluminum can be hard to work with, you could use an aluminum filler rod and a small torch to fill the dent, just be carefull not to burn through, or you could use a two part epoxy that gets real hard like JB weld. some people have even used a filler almost like bondo but made for marine use.

Weld it up and regrind. Just find a welder that does alum. Not a biggie.
With them being on the corners, that might be worth considering to fix permamently (welding) as more prone to dock rashes. Where as a filler type of repair might not hold stay put if you contact the dock again. especially after going to the trouble to remove, repair, repowdercoat the platform.
