Thanks, folks. As a side note, despite predrilling the rubrail screws, the strip of 3/4 inch plywood backer under the deck splintered in a bunch of places. I am thinking of mixing up some epoxy the consistency of peanut butter and troweling it on what's left to seal in the tips of the screws and prevent the rest of the plywood from flaking out. Then paint to match the rest of my inside hull (white). Any thoughts?
