86 22-2 ccp
« on: January 07, 2019, 10:02:17 AM »
I recently bought an 1986 222ccp. I want to add some aluminum rails for rod holders and downriggers.  The ones i ordered are 60 lond and 4 in wide. Planning on putting them on each gunwale from transom forwards. Can i remove the caps to install them and add support to the bottom of the caps for stability?  They look to be removable.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance .

The gunnel caps  on each side toward the stern are removable, but they also hold the rod holders in place.

Ok, thanks. Any idea what type of sealant to use when i replace them? Looks like white silicone.

I’d use 3M UV 4000.  It’s a great sealer with some adhesive properties, but not so much you can’t get it apart later.  Since your downriggers will put some some stress on the covering boards, I suggest using through bolts with fender washers everywhere you can get to the back side.

Sounds good. As for the fender washers, im goimg a step further and i am going to put an aluminum plate that will run the full length of the cisco track system i purchased. And i will orders some the 3m sealant you reccomended. Thanks!
