[quote=Edchris177][quote]Ed I'm going to have to disagree with you there on the mast head. At least on a Super Cat.[/quote]
Fair enough, I would not recommend silicone as an adhesive.
I'm interpreting you post to read the hook pulled out?
I agree, that part won't survive with AL rivets, same for the mast hound. Both are made from SS because they are stressed. For the hounds, & hook on the H18, I would use factory spec rivets, with a sealing tape underneath to create a barrier between AL & SS.
On the older Nacra, (TNELL boat), which uses a small slug on the halyard, the plug is mostly under compression, rivets just hold it in place. I would not bother pulling SS rivets there. In those cases you are only looking to seal the joint.[/quote]
