[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 393014, member: 15636"] Having just done HUNDREDS for my complete transom removal, this worked for me! 1) Put DOT in center of each rivet with Sharpie marker 2) Use prick punch (60-degree point) to mark the center 3) Follow-up w/ center punch (90-degree point) strikin it hard for a good CENTERED dimple where you'll start the drill 4) Drill in 1/16" or so w/ small bit 5) Go in with bit sized just UNDER the rivet diameter, but NOT past the skin the rivet is through 6) Use squared edge chisel or similar to 'knock' the river head off ... Worked for me! [/QUOTE]
