leaking boat

[Dabluz]

What is good stuff to stop the small leaks in my aluminum boat?

[Roy]

Tighten or replace rivets maybe?

I have a couple of leaky rivets on my boat that are impossible to get to unless I would completely remove the console floor and rod locker.....instead for years I just clean that area real good and apply silicone caulking to those rivets on the outside of the boat, works great.

Tighten or replace all leaking rivets and paint interior seams with Gluvit.

I used the green epoxy sticks from CT and they stopped the leaks, of course that is after I replaced a lot of rivets. Do not try to tighten the rivets yourself it only caused me more grief ,take it to a marine repair store.

Inormally would recommend new buck rivots, but if you cant get your hands on the other side then an aluminum waterproof rivot with some sealant is your best option.

After a tree fell on my grumman canoe it wasn't quite the same.lol. Started getting a couple rivet leaks in the bottom as well as a bent front end. I used that aluminum epoxy that comes in a tube. You roll the two parts in your hand,press firmly into leaking area of aluminum.Let cure. That was five years ago and still no sign of water.Mind you all repairs were applied to the exterior side of the canoe.
