Greetings, my 16ft Lund Pro Angler has a leaky rivet that happens to be located right where my bunk trailer is supporting the boat. I’d like to drill out the rivet and replace with a larger close-end rivet, but unlike a couple of other rivets I’ve already repaired using this method, I can’t access the rivet as it’s blocked by the bunk.
Does anybody have any ideas for how I can get to the rivet? Examples include somehow taking the boat off my trailer and putting it on other stable stands such that it’s far enough off the ground that I can execute the repair (but, I have no idea if such stands exist or how I’d get the boat off the trailer and onto such stands)?
The only other idea I can think of would be to try to find a friend with a roller trailer, and ask if we can switch trailer for a few days.
Thanks for any advice anyone might have!
Best regards,
