rivets popping out!

[Pigeontroller]

"keep an eye on that"

[Tybo]

Their is only a couple of reasons why rivets would pull out like that

 

The first and foremost is that the two pieces that are held together are moving in two

different direction.

 

Aluminum boats flex alot.But how they are desiged, is so the aluminum sheet flexs

betweem the riveted hard points.

Leaving the alloy lax to be able to asorb shock while preventing stress on hard points.

If this happens at hard points(on the transom,where the transom is attatchted to the boat,where

the the hull is riveted to the support struts,ribbing.)It is duo mostly that the rivets where not seated tight

or poor design.

 

If this happens on rivets that hold things into the boat. Such as floors and casting decks.

You are lucky the boat didn't snap in two.
