[QUOTE="crkdltr, post: 200524, member: 1225"] Bucking is the term used with solid rivets. Essentially you use a solid object (piece of steel or maul) and hold it against one side of the rivet while you hammer the other side of the rivet. In your case, have someone hold a maul against one of the leaky rivets on the outside of your boat while you hammer the other side of the rivet. If they're aluminum then it may only take a few good strikes. Additionally, if you happen to own an air hammer / chisel with a quick change chuck, you can buy a brazier rivet bit to use on the concave side of the rivet while the maul is used to back (or buck) the other side of the rivet.
