[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 433425, member: 15636"] OMG and I still shudder when I see those photos :shock: ! Popped/compromised rivets ... ee-ghads that gives me nightmares! I do use saltwater tins and I, like Johnny, bought one that was more work than initially thought, but luckily I don't have THIS problem. However, whereas I run it in saltwater estuaries running out to the ocean, I did add a [color=#FF0000][b]high water alarm[/b] in the bilge[/color] as a safety backup ... just in case a seam splits during a hard run or whilst in seas. [u]High Water Alarm[/u] - ~$60, see https://www.boatstoreusa.com/engine-parts-accessories/engine-gauges/marpac-72303m-high-water-bilge-alarm/?utm_medium=googleshopping&utm_source=bc&gclid=Cj0KEQjwxPbHBRCdxJLF3qen3dYBEiQAMRyxS2HOg4T28YTZCMMupmgP8qT1iKEE52oMAg6y56Ca0ZAaAquo8P8HAQ [/QUOTE]
