Default Re: fixing seafari cabin leaks

I did an aluminum rubrail twice with screws on a Chris Craft, no thank you. After I installed again with aluminum shank and Aluminum mandrel rivets no problem. Again on my SC I used Rivets/ backed with Washers and hybrid polyurethane adhesive/sealant.
If you do screws alone, even with new holes & adhesive , you are wasting your time. I had to special order long shank and mandrel rivets they are 1-1/4 with a 1"grip range . I had to buy 500 and i have some left over, if you want them.
