Leak Question

[cyp]

I have water tested my 12' sears v-hull. There is one leak only that I found. Its a missing rivet. Rather then going through the expense of buying solid rivets, tools and such, is there something I can just fill that rivet hole in with?

You can JB weld the hole, it has worked for me in the past, make sure you fill it up really good then you can sand it down and paint over it for a clean look

Thanks, should I use the JB Waterweld or just regular

I'd use a bolt/washer with some 5200 for the piece of mind.

Thought about that, its just a small small rivet hole though I was amazed at how much water came through it

Buy the rivets and do it right or put a Stainless screw and nut with 5200 on it.

Where can you buy the self sealing rivets?
