Rivets anyone?? - need some help
My little tin can has lost a couple rivets and I need to replace them and they are below the water line. Since I don’t have a air hammer and did not want to take the decking apart to get to the back side to block them (again the solid river air hammer process. I was looking for pop rivets that have the sealed end.
I’ve tried trustworthy, Fays ship store, parafunalia, and Lowes and had no lock. Anyone have any ideas and hopefully they are open today Or does anyone have an alternative repair? Thank you

How many do you need and what size? I may have some 3/16” diameter stainless or aluminum rivets....

Hi dan
After researching this morning I might go he stainless steal truss screw route with a nut (if I can get the deck off easil. They are structural (attach to a brace) and everything I'm reading is saying not to use the type as the shank stretches Any experience using them for structure? I'm not sure of the size yet

1/8" is Canoe-sized...
I've got a few "sealing" pop-rivets in 1/8" aluminum size.
