[QUOTE="thudpucker, post: 301718, member: 1422"] Rivets are the right answer for the wet parts of the boat. Just make sure the swedge is complete, but too much swedge and you'll crack the aluminum around the rivet hole. If you are not certain of a Rivet, drill it out and do it again. Boat's are thin skinned and weak. Use soft Rivets. They'll swedge up tight and leak proof. [/QUOTE]
