And I guess a blow dryer may help or is there some other way to get it warm?

I have done it on non Sea Crafts in a turkey frying pot with hot water. You need a couple of guys. One at the pot and one to help you get it up onto the boat. Buy them beer and have the guy at the pot feed the rubrail into the pot. As it warms have the second guy pull it out and hold it up while you screw it in.
I lay the rail out as straight as I can behind the pot to start. You will need to move the pot a few times but it works Ok.
To be clear on the turkey frying pot for our northern friends this is a large pot on a propane burner. Put water in till about 3/4/ full and then slide the rub rail through it to make the rail warm enough to shape easily. Do not let the burner flame up so high it will scorch the rub rail as it drops out each side.
Or do it on a very warm sunny day in direct sunlight.
