Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
You can use aluminum "pop rivets" in place of the missing ones. They will need to be sealed with a product such as: Gluv It, available at www.westmarine.com<br /><br />The other choice is to replace the cold rivets by hammering them into place with a block on the back side. A lot depends on where they are located.
This is a subject I covered awhile back. go to this link: web page <br /><br />This was my bread-an-butter for many years and is the only diffinitive method for repair that last the life of the boat with excellent appearance results.
