[quote=dmgbear55]So much for the math. If you don't have a way to get that additional weight hiked out you are still screwed.
I would also reiterate the point that it is not adequate to seal just the rivet with silicone. The rest of the perimeter of the part as in the case of a halyard hook or a mast hound must be sealed. It is bad assumption that the mating surfaces of the part and the rivet fully seal the hole. It may not be a large leak, but it is a leak.
