aluminum boat question
#7
If it's just the rivets that are leaking I have repaired them two different ways. 1- tighten the rivet by holding a heavy hammer against one side and holding a flat punch the same size as the rivet against the other side and tapping it with a hammer. 2- Put a gob of clear tub & tile silicon caulk over and around the rivet and holding the nozzle of a good shop vac on the other side for a few seconds. This will suck the silicon into the open spaces. then wipe off the excess.

I would hesitate before using Rino Lining on the outside of the boat, it has a fairly coarse texture and would cause a lot of drag.
