After my tapped 1/4-20 bolts pulled through the tapped boom on my boat.
I drilled out the hole, put these in, tightened them up and
re-installed the bolts. So far so good.

Hi Bill,
I would lean towards SS rivets as suggested by Dennis and others. You will
need to get the
diameter of the hole but also the combined thickness of the fitting and mast.
Fogh has a good
assortment of the rivets. You can get the compound riveter from Princess Auto.

I'm guessing they were aluminum rivets. "Every high load" rivet I
installed in a mast was stainless coated with TefGel.
However, to install larger stainless rivets, you need a BIG rivet tool like
a Marson Big Daddy. They run about $150.
If it were me, I'd punch out the old rivets and reinstall
During my recent "race" in the Lake Ontario 300 (actually the shorter scotch
bonnet race) my hydraulic boom bang broke off at the base of the mast. The
rivets appear to have sheared off.
I have the local boat repair company taking a look, but t I am curious if
anyone has suggestions?
