: Do you find that the flat washers and nuts are water tight? I had no
: experience to guide me, so I made sure the surface was smooth and put

While the a straight washer may not be sufficient to make the boat 100% waterproof, it will take a real long time to get any significant amount of water through it. I've never had any visible water come through.
