Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Rivet Gun and Wood on console of 17' Montauk

Hi Everyone,

I like the idea of stainless pop rivets replacing the screws in the railings but how powerful a pneumatic rivet gun is needed to pull the SS rivets?
How do I get the piece of teak off the top of the center cosole of my 1985 montauk? I don't see any screws.
If you want to email me direct my address is tom@tmlimited.com .

Thanks !!

I have used a hand rivet gun to set many 1/8" and 3/16" SS rivets so I don't think it take a very powerful rivet gun.

I do not know of any teak pieces that originally were on the top of those consoles.
