I'm getting ready to install an anchor trolley system on an Oasis. This will require drilling a few holes to accept two blocks and a couple of padeyes. I have the option of using either pop rivets or stainless steel screws with lock nuts. Whatever the case, is it a good idea to use some type of a sealant at the site of the holes? If so, what type works best? Thanks in advance for your answers and expertise!! - Roger

I use marine silicon caulking, but always use bolts and large washers inside.

Hey Thanks Bob! I did as you said and everything came out just fine. Now I can go out and find a great fishing spot on the bay and hopefully pull in an illusive redfish.
