[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 275585, member: 9169"] Got a few questions for you guys: Here is the nut and bolt that was holding the transom in place. I'm thinking that solid rivets would be stronger for replacement, but I'm not sure you can get rivets this long. Should I stick with the facotry size nuts and bolts, or would solid rivets be a better choice?

Also some rust?? corrosion?? around the bottom of the bench seats. What should I do about the rivets? The bench seats?
