I have a "quarter-turn" bung in the back of my Laser and the seal broke so I decided to order a full "screw-in" bung to replace it with - thinking that it was probably more water-tight (I have various leakage problems).
When I went to remove the old bung fitting, I found that instead of it being screwed to the boat, it is riveted. Looking at other Lasers at my club, mine appears to be the only one I can find. I am worried that if I drill out the rivets I may not be able to re-attach the new fitting with screws and/or another rivet.
Does any one have any experience with riveted bungs? Was this standard (built 1980) or a repair?
Thanks for any help/ideas
