Blind rivets are available from various sources. I'd coat them with silicone, but it isn't absolutely necessary.
Holes that are enlarged should be drilled out and a larger rivet used to prevent leaks and loosening.
Closed-End Blind Rivets
The two happiest days in a boat owner's life are the day he gets the boat and the day he gets rid of the boat. I mostly agree with this.
Good luck.
