Re: fixing seafari cabin leaks
Rivets or machine screws/washers/nylock nuts to create some clamping load is definitely the way to go. Sheet metal screws don't hold well in fiberglass because if there is ANY dynamic (vibratory) load on them, they will cut into the glass and eventually work loose.
When I got to Green Turtle Cay after first Bahama trip over 30 years ago, my cabin looked like someone had turned a hose loose in there!
