Any place around Birmingham/Pelham area y’all know of that could replace some rivets on a Jon boat? I thought it seemed easy enough, but apparently I’m an idiot one way or the other.

If it just a few leaks set it on some saw horses and fill it half full of water. Get underneath and circle each leak with a sharpie. Dumb the water out and let it dry and just JB-weld over the leak areas. I did this to one years ago and it was bone dry afterwards.

Sometimes if the rivets are you loose and you can't get to them a sledge on one side of the rivet and hitting the other with a hammer can tighten them up


We will burn that bridge when we get there

Thanks guys, it would have probably helped to explain it better. I removed a bunch of rivets to replace the rotted transom and now trying to put new rivets back in. I’ve tried several different times with an air hammer and block after watching folks on YouTube zip them on in with no problem. I can’t seem to get the end of the rivet to expand or mushroom. I’m done cussing it, and punting to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Thought I ruined one due to running a 3” water pump in it resetting pilings a few years ago. Lots of rivets vibrated loose. A little Flex Seal fixed that problem.

Good idea!! We got a little boat at the lease that has about 3 inches of water in the back after about 2hrs of pond fishing. Would you apply the JB Weld on inside, outside, both sides, or does it matter?

West Marine makes two part epoxy that will flex with the boat unlike some other sealants. It's a little pricey and semi labor intensive, but it works well. Used it on my jon boat when I redid it.

Honestly dont remember but I think I did both sides where I could.
