Hey everyone
Pretty new to sailboat maintenance and repair, so sorry in advance for what might be a silly question.
I'm installing a boom vang and I need to attach a pad eye to my boom. Because the pad eye is so far forward, I don't have access to secure it with screws, washer and nuts.
I've read that using a rivet gun is the best way to make this happen, but I'm not clear on the process.
Can someone please provide more details?
Thanks!
