Rub rails
« on: September 04, 2013, 08:07:30 PM »
I just bought an Aquasport 245.  I noticed some light coming through the pulpit when I crawled in the anchor locker. I'm guessing I need to pull the rub rail and seal/rivet/screw the deck seam fore and aft. Any other thoughts?  Or where can I get matching rub rail?  It's been a while, but it's not a fun job!  All in the day of a sailor.  :)

You should be able to reuse the main rub rail and just replace the insert.  I think Taco has them.  Seabob4 knows who to contact to get some.

Thanks.  It's shrunk a bit but it might work.

Hi bogeydriver,
I had to do that on my 19-6 and it was a pain in the butt! Ended up using a comealong attached to my pickup and a heat gun to stretch the rail. Worked very well and has not sagged at all.
