The mast exit plates on my 38 are held in place with aluminum pop rivets.
Should I need to remove them, I’d use a small drill to drill out the center
pin… which would not damage the mast at all. Be sure to use TefGel or some
other anticorrosion material to inhibit corrosion between the rivets an

Nope, just drill them out with whatever size
Rivets are fairly easy to remove, particularly aluminum ones. Just drill
the flange off and punch them through the mast.
I used rivets quite frequently to attach things to masts. For exit plates,
aluminum rivets should work fine.
Larger stainless rivets are a different story. Most folks don't

Thanks, Josh. With seven exit plates, each with four mounting holes,
I can think of 28 reasons to not drill and tap each hole.
The original exit plates had six holes each (as opposed to the current
practical.
I kind of like your rivet idea, and I forgot about JB Weld. Any other thoughts
out there?

You can rivet them. Mine are. Aluminum rivets won't corrode the mast.
There really isn't a good reason not to go up to a #12 machine screw.
Of course there are epoxy materials such as JB weld in liquid or in a
stick. I'm not sure that they would produce a lasting repair.
What about backing nu
