[QUOTE="crabbingdan, post: 419176, member: 15710"] Carl - Thanks! I didn't use rivets mainly because I've never used them all that much before, so I just don't know much about them. ...not the best reason to not do something, but I guess I felt more comfortable going forward with material I'm familiar with. In my experience once you tighten a nylon insert lock nut onto a machine screw, it pretty much stays there, so I just used those. So I used stainless steel machine screws and stainless steel nylon insert lock nuts for all of the aluminum angle framework, and for the through-hull connections. And just stainless steel screws for screwing the angle onto the ribs (where you can't get a nut on the back side). [/QUOTE]
