[QUOTE="Jupiter, post: 341988, member: 13492"] I did a water leak test and found three spots where rivets are leaking. After some research I found that my options were replacing rivets, using Gluvit, using 5200, or some type of paint on sealer. The rivets do not appear to be in bad shape so I decided to go with Gluvit. West Marine did not carry it but I fund something that looks to be the same product. Does anyone have experience with solving this issue? I also attempted to start cleaning up the boat. The only way I found to get the brown stains off is by wet sanding. Although while at West Marine I also found this aluminum boat restoration product by 3M. Guess we will see how it works.
