Default Bow Rail repair

my bow rail is bent in a few areas. the supports are fine but the main railing is not. my question is can i remove the damaged rails and then just thread a new piece thruogh the supports with out having to bend the tubing before threading through the supports?

I went through this with an old Chris Craft of mine. I saved a boat load of money by buying the stainless steel tubing at a metal distribution house (vs. some place that has "Marine" in its name) and then bringing it and the old rail (removed from my boat) to one of the local railing houses. The guy charged me $130 to bend it. The rail itself was only about $60. The entire bow rail project with rail, supports and elbows was only about $250. It looked like new when I was done. Good luck.
