Rub Rail Removal Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Boat Maintenance Forum Discription: Discuss maintenance of your Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40297 Printed Date: November-16-2024 at 9:26am Topic: Rub Rail Removal Posted By: trice Subject: Rub Rail Removal Date Posted: December-11-2016 at 9:32pm I began to remove my rub rail today for two reasons: Gelcoat restoration and rope replacement. A section of the original rope on the stern was missing so I began removing the exposed rub rail attaching screws, no problem. The process ended abruptly because access to the rail attaching screws ended. Does anyone have any experience removing the rub rail and/or replacing the rope? How did you remove the rope from it's groove to gain access to the mounting screws or to replace it? Did you pull it out/directly away from the boat through the small slit or did you "snake" it out by pulling it all the way through? The black rub rail seems hard and maybe brittle. Has anyone cracked theirs doing this? Thank you! ------------- 87 SN Replies: Posted By: fanofccfan Date Posted: December-12-2016 at 10:19am Warm the rub rail via sunshine or some other heat source. The rope will pull out and the rest of the screws will be accessible. Posted By: trice Date Posted: December-12-2016 at 12:34pm Thank you!! ------------- 87 SN
