Rub Rail
Has anyone had to replace their rub rail? Saturday morning the boat was frozen and when we launched the rub rail hit the dock and broke apart like ice. Was wondering what it might cost to get it replaced. 18' Hewes

Re: Rub Rail
was it the entire rail or just the insert? Usually the center insert can be replaced easily with another rubber insert, rope or whatever.

Re: Rub Rail
There are about as many different types of rub rail as there are boats. But most are readily available. Here's one of numerous sites to buy rub rail insert.

Re: Rub Rail
Lay it out in the sun for at least an hour before you try to gorilla that thing in there. The insert can be a PITA if it is cold. I might go with rope next time.

I really like the look of the rope insert, wish I could put it on my Boat ...Atticus wrote:Lay it out in the sun for at least an hour before you try to gorilla that thing in there. The insert can be a PITA if it is cold. I might go with rope next time.
