Whats best way to plug em up?I see a lot of stainless screws used.Can I use small stainless screws and bolt?Maybe with a little sealant or will it react with the aluminum? This is a 1964 Starcraft 15'. thanks dave

Stainless And Aluminum Will Cause Electrolysis. I Would Recommend Marine Tex Epoxy.

Works for me...Just make sure they are all aluminum including the mandrel. Some aluminum rivets have steel mandrels. How many holes do you have to fill?
