Installing Scotty Deck Mount Question

I can't find any marine-goo.  Would any clear flexible silicone work?

Thanks Mooch; was hoping to find something local - but looks as if I'll have to order.  Thanks for the link.  Apologies for posting in the woring forum.

Kenny, I found some at my local ace hardware store..

i believe all the goop's are the same. The marine one has a UV something or other in it. I have used the reg stuff with no issues.

Thanks guys!  I'll hit up some hardware stores tomorrow.  I struck out at the fishing stores.

Kenny, I can pick up a tube for you - are you going to the Tiki tournament? Let me know.

I have a hard time finding a store that doesn't carry it.
Walmart, Kmart, any hardware store.
Plumbers goop, marine goop, whatever goop; for what you are using it for it doesn't make a difference.

Mooch - thanks for the offer.  I had to buy a couple things from Austin Kayak; they had the goop so I added that to the order.  Should be here this week.  Not sure on Tiki - got to filter through all the kids activities to see if there's any time left for me .

Thanks Tote - will keep that in mind should I need any in the future.  I stopped at two fish stores that sold Scotty products; logically, I would have assumed they would carry the goop too.  They did, but were out - Kenny luck.

What size rivets should be used?  Last thing I need to figure out before installing.  Went to the store and didn't anticipate a wide array of rivets (probably should have).  I checked out the Scotty website, several on-line forums - found some great install write-ups but none mentioned what size rivet to use.

Thanks-

These kind (courtesy from our bros at NWKA).
Most kayak shops carry them or you can order them online.
I'm sure some other kind of store may carry them I just don't know which one.

I'd recommend using nut, bolt, and washer if you can access the inside of your yak where you'll be doing the installation.

thanks tote! 

dilbeck, that may be an option.  will have to take another look.  thanks-

I only use rivets as a last resort if I cannot access the hole from the inside.
Nut, bolt and washer are the way to go.
