[QUOTE="68rs327, post: 417420, member: 8397"] I am working on my Jon boat and am wanting to replace some of the leaking rivets and install new rivets on the ones I removed when I gutted the interior of the boat. I am looking at rivets on McMaster Carr and have found what I think is the correct rivets to use. The are called Sealing Blind Rivets and also says they are known as closed-end sealing rivets, they prevent water and air from passing through or around them. Because most of the mandrel is retained, they have higher shear and tensile strengths than standard blind rivets of the same size and material." I am looking at ordering the 3/16 and the 1/4" Domed Aluminum with steel mandrel. https://www.mcmaster.com/#rivets/=137p8bp [url=https://s893.photobucket.com/user/68rs327/media/Rivets_zpstacedubl.png.html][img]https://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac132/68rs327/Rivets_zpstacedubl.png[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
