[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 158862, member: 1773"] Usually stainless is the right choice, I suspect that maybe one of the components might not have been stainless. The project that I am working on had a lot of the rivets replaced with what I thought were regular old bolts. After removing them I found that some of them were stainless but the washers and / or nuts were not. This was the case with some of my issues, might not be with yours. Also, the aluminum rivets are a good option as well. I would use the pop rivets, if the holes are through hull connections make sure you used closed end pop rivets as they will provide a water tight seal. On the preventing corrosion you might use some 5200 in between the points of contact on the bolts / screws. [/QUOTE]
