I am wrapping up oiling my teak gunnels. Before oiling I removed the entire rub rail assembly. I have the new receiver as well as a new rub rail. The old rub rail receiver was installed with rivets. I filled all the holes and was wondering if I should use screws or rivets installing the new piece. I prefer the use of screws but am worried that over time they might back off. I have never been a fan of rivets. Thanks in advance.
