I have several bow rivets and the cap over the bow seam leaking. I also have leaks around the transom shield seam. This is an 18ft Starcraft aluminum hull.
Should I replace the rivets or use gluvit on the inside. What about the seams? Any thoughts on the best method?.

I'd try to re-buck them (and then Gluvit)
