Rub Rail Help

[JohnB]

I have had to do that before. You might want to park the boat in the sun, and get the rub rail nice and hot, so it's more pliable when trying to put the insert in. Hair dryer works too.

I think I did many years ago on the 18, the sun sounds like a good idea, its doesn't appear very pliable

Dixon,
I found that laying the rubrail on hot black asphalt for about 2 hours makes it real easy to work with.
Also just 5200 the old holes then re-drill new ones.
Nobody but you will know they are there.
See ya, Ken
PS: Looking forward to Ft. Desoto in November

Its so small I will try it with the sun and a hair dryer with a good dose of hammer, I'll if I need help though.

This is really an easy chore. I pulled the whole rub rail off of mine and tightned all of the screws. Do one side at a tine(top then bottom) I used the backside of a screwdriver. You'll get it.
