[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 378496, member: 13702"] Use the stainless mandrel rivets - despite the dissimilar metals left behind in the rivet the extra tensile strength of the steel will pull the rivet MUCH tighter which is what you want when working below the waterline. I originally used aluminum mandrel rivets in my boat and ended up replacing them all. [/QUOTE]
