Posts: 5,590 Naples, FL | You might find it helpful to use something like Calpico tape under the hardware to curb the corrosion between the mast and fitting. And glue/seal in rivet caps before you set the rivet if you want to make sure it's water tight. Not sure I understand that "glue/seal in rivet caps before you set the rivet" Care to elaborate?
