Attaching to the hull: screws or rivets?

[dsuden]

Wiring is underway in the new jon!

Most of my wires will travel beneath seats and through conduit, but there are a couple places where I need to make a short wire run in a visible area, well above the water line. I'd like to use some of those little plastic wire clamps as guides for the wire, but am uncertain whether to use small sheet metal screws or rivets to hold the wire clamps to the hull. I hate the idea of screw points sticking out through to the outside of the hull, but suspect that rivets might squish the plastic wire clamps. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Dane

They make stick on (tabs /holders)for ty wraps and with wire clips..They work fine if you clean surface first...example https://www.panduit.com/wcs/Satellite?pagename=PG_Wrapper&friendlyurl=/en/products-and-services/products/cable-ties-and-accessories
