[QUOTE="jonmac3569, post: 238901, member: 6462"] I replaced mine with those same sheet metal screws. I went and bought stainless (1 size bigger than origianl since some were a little bored out) Mine were same as yours, I had some that had the heads almost totally rusted off but it took 35 years to get to that point and almost none of the surrounding metal was rusted. So I just went the same route. Also my boat is kept in the garage so I wasn't too worried about it. I definately don't see any issue riveting them back in though. Should be plenty strong. I was glad to get the transom done. It was a a decent amount of work but I feel good knowing that all the metal behind that wood is sanded and repainted now and I replaced all the hardware with stainless with 5200 also. I was lucky my boat had been kept in a boathouse for all of those years or would've been much worse. Boat's looking good! [/QUOTE]
