I drilled and tapped and used Tef-Gel to prevent corrosion. I will tell you in 10 year show bad it was to remove them.
I was told by numerous sources that if you want pop rivets, you need to use the stainless steel ones. They are more difficult to find and even more difficult to use (you need a decent river gun)m but they might be an option.

Just installing a Garhauer boom vang on Cat’s Paw this winter. Do you guys recommend aluminum pop rivets - in case I ever need to remove it? In my experience, SS screws tapped into the mast or boom hold fine but are a devil to get out because of electrolysis. The pop rivets can just be drilled out.
