[QUOTE="thill, post: 499681, member: 4972"] Wire brush away any corrosion, drill the holes to 3/16" and use solid aluminum rivets, is what I strongly recommend. I never, ever have problems with this solution. IF you are always in fresh water and decide to use stainless steel, make sure it's 316 grade stainless, not 304, 308 or some other lower grade. It does not react nearly as much as the lower grades, even to saltwater. [/QUOTE]
