Depending on the age of the boat, the coaming is attached with rivnuts, screws that go into a rivet-like base. If there's no screw slots, you have regular rivets, which can be carefully drilled-out. I use a spade bit or a conical bit and press lightly to erode just enough of the center of the rivet to detach it from the shank.

Hi All what is the easiest way to remove the rivets from a coaming without breaking it?
