Default Rivets

Contact Alumacraft and they may be able to repair it for you or can steer
you towards authorized repair centers.

I have a 50 year old alummacraft 16 ft all riveted boat, it is in very good
condition. But has a few rivets missing rivets or worn down. Can i use a
newmatic rivet gun and pop rivets to repair it? Thanks to the smart guys
tht
instructed me on how to remove the flywheel from a 1956 johnson. Your info
was right on. The flywheeklwas corroded to the crank woodruf key was ok. I
used about half a can of rust releaser and two days of soaking. Thanks
again
