Jacko51 said..Stainless Steel, Aluminium and Salt Water are not compatible. Maybe why a lot of Ali Booms fail ?
www.anzor.com.au/stainless-steel-and-galvanic-corrosionYacht chandlers may have Monel otherwise Ali. Try and find someone with an Air Rivet Gun to attach. ( Aluminium Window/ Security Door fabricators ).
I need more basic instructions than that - I am not very tool handy.
Is this right?
1. drill out the single rivet
2. drill two new holes through just the outside of the boom?
According to my interpretation of the galvanic corrosion chart Stainless steel rivets should be less corrosive than Monel...
Aluminium would be best but is weak?
Last time I think I got a yacht chandler to do the riveting for me. It looks like I may have to visit them again.
