Rub Rails

On line is a good place to start. West Marine, Boaters World, and Boat US, all carry rub rail. Make sure you get the right width and shape. Rails with out inserts are easier to put on and a little cheaper. It is a do it yourself job. Not too hard, and takes enough time to make it very expensive to have done at a marina. Get some 5200 to seal everything up right. Cheap sealants may leak and then you would have to do the job over again. Good luck and hope you find a rail you like. My only problem with a job like this is when I find the rail I like, it's always the wrong size.

Warming the rail

When working the rail, warm it in the Sun and or get it plenty warm and it will be substantially easier to work with and get in the correct position. 5200 is great stuff but one way only. 4200 is removable. It's a choice you might want to consider. Trying to remove 5200 is like breaking concrete. Just my opinion. Steve P.
