[QUOTE="darrellswyatt, post: 454376, member: 23852"] HI DaleH Thanks for the offer of rivets. I will have to check my order to see what it takes. The gooping the snot out of it I don't think will work as it is apparently allowing water into the hull under the keel plate where the rivet goes thru the hull. I know there are several that are wiggle loose. these are the rivets that hold the keel shield to the hull so the point of leak is hidden under the shield. I can see and feel them moving. So I believe just gooping them will not reach the point of leak. The keel shield is not seal. The rear end of it is open to water. So no use trying to seal it unless I try to close the end up. I am hoping the blind rivets will tighten up in the hole and make it water tight again. Do you think this will work? [/QUOTE]
