[QUOTE="T Man, post: 343078, member: 3351"] When checking for leaky rivets, leave the water in the boat for a while. I had 1 rivet that was leaking, and I had put water in the boat several times. I finally filled my boat up and left it for a few hours. When I came out it had leaked just enough to have a drop hanging off the rivet. The hydraulic pressure is completely different when the boat is full of water than when it is in the water, so let it sit for a while to make sure you get all of the rivets. [/QUOTE]
