18' Gunnel Repair?
I have cracks/soft spots around poorly installed rod holders in the gunnels of my '77 18 footer. What is the best method to repair this? I want to avoid painting if I can.
Also- Can these gunnels be removed without a lot of cutting? Any advice or past experiences would be welcome. Thanks! |
Re: 18' Gunnel Repair?
Does yours have the sections that can be removed? Mine appear to be held in place with screws and a hefty bead of some sort of caulking. I'm sure hoping I don't have to do any cutting except for the caulking.

It **looks** like it can be removed. There is a caulk joint and some screws.... Can anyone confirm this?

I remembered this thread, but, Adam didn't have any pictures of the sections after removal. There's a picture of what it looks like under the sections.

I removed my port gunnel to obtain access to replace my fuel fill hose. Its a pretty easy job just unscrew the screws and run a sharp utility knife along the caulk line.
