[QUOTE="Gilby, post: 519218, member: 26056"] When I removed mine I sacrificed an old chisel to pop the rivet head off from the outside. Just being careful to keep the chisel flat to the transom as to not gouge the aluminum and it worked out pretty good. I ordered rivets the were about 3/4' longer than the transom is thick and a rivet hammer to fit my air hammer. Take note of which style rivet you get and get same style hammer as there are several different shapes. I then used on old flat face hammer head I have lying around, (probably about a 4 pound or so) and a buddy would hold the hammer while I used to air hammer to pound the rivets into place and smash them (i'm Sure there is a more proper term other than smash them). I also coated each hole and rivet with 3M 5200. Wear ear plugs!! Its a super loud job [/QUOTE]
