I just purchased an OEM replacement rub rail and plan to install this weekend. I have two questions for the group:

1) Is it preferable to seal the old rivet holes with a marine sealant (such as 3M 4200 or 5200 or polysulfide sealant) or should I use gelcoat, marine tex, west systems six-10, etc?

2) Is it preferable to use rivets or stainless screws during the reinstallation?

Thanks in advance for the groups insights!
