[QUOTE="DOBSONFLY, post: 312296, member: 11090"] I know that when I ground the old rivets out they were solid on the outer transom plate. Versus using solid rivets, which are stronger than these, I decided to use aluminum sealing blind rivets and a conventional hand pop rivet gun. I don't have the tools to do solid rivets, and figured that this is a non-structural part that they would be sufficient. I put marine grade sealer in the holes before riveting the plate in place, at least on the bottom 4 rivets nearest the water line. Sealing Blind Rivet Domed, Alum, 3/16" Dia, .251"-.375" Material Thk [url]https://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/3276/=mht5l2[/url] [/QUOTE]
