[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 100455, member: 1417"] I ground off the rivets from the inside and they were tight enough that I didn't have to do anything. Apparently when the rivets are put in there is enough pressure on the hole to keep them tight even without the inside head in place. Plus the grinder kind of mushroomed the ends a little which helped keep them tight. Your question reminds me that when I put in the aluminum frame for the deck I riveted it from the outside and was so anxious to get out fishing I never sealed them. I guess because they're above the waterline I wasn't too worried but I do need to get that taken care of. [/QUOTE]
