If a part that is riveted to the boat needs to be replaced, the rivet needs to be drilled out. Using the center punch, punch the center of the rivet down. This will provide a pilot hole to make the drilling operation easier. Then, using the 13/64" drill bit, drill straight down on the center of the rivet (small silver center). If the outer black disk begins to spin, hold it in place with the needle nose pliers. Once the hole is drilled out, a new rivet may then be attached. Check to make sure the rivet fits snugly in the hole. If it does not, refill the hole and re-drill the hole with a 13/64" drill bit. Next, replace the broken part. If attaching a strap, be sure to use a washer between the rivet and the strap.
You will need these tools. Drill, 13/64" drill bit, needle nose pliers, cherry rivets, center punch, and cherry rivet gun
