What size rope goes in the bump rail on a 79 SN? Also is there a replacement vinyl insert that could be used instead? Thanks JT

John, For a solid replacement, some have used "choose-a-color" PVC from McMaster: https://www.mcmaster.com/vinyl-tubing/color~blue/" rel="nofollow - https://www.mcmaster.com/vinyl-tubing/color~blue/ Scroll down to "firm opaque".

Just noticed you have a ‘79 may need this, might want to call to see if it’s 1/2 or 5/8 https://www.nautiqueparts.com/product/rub-rail-and-rope-for-older-boats/" rel="nofollow - https://www.nautiqueparts.com/product/rub-rail-and-rope-for-older-boats/

I tried the 5/8 and was too big, used the 1/2 and could tap in with rubber mallet. Will this nylon type rope be ok?  |
