Personally, I'd lose the handle and buy a stainless bow eye and put in its place. I put a 1/8" thick or so piece of aluminum backer on the inside of the boat to bolt the new bow eye through so I wouldnt have to worry about pulling it out of the hull.

If you like the handle just drill out those rivots and bolt a new handle in its place.
