[QUOTE="hopper33, post: 489929, member: 31803"] I am getting ready to mod a jon boat into a duck hunting boat. I am about to start on a subfloor, and have a few very small leaks around rivets. The rivets themselves do not look cracked. Nothing that leaks much, or fast in the slightest. Certainly will not take on fast enough to sink, but either way I want to seal them. They are small enough I am afraid to try and replace each applicable rivet, in fear I would possible make it worse. Should I seal with an aluminum brazing rod? Just some marine Flex Seal spray? JB Weld? Or, is replacing the rivets easy enough and the best bet? Something else? Any insight or suggestions is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
