rope rub rail
 

where can I buy a new rope for my rub rail

I got it at Home Depot.

Any rope will work. Different colors will make it "pop". You can get it at any hardware store or boat store.

What size rope is used?

Good question and what type ? I too am going to do this mod. I thought 5/8' polly prop would work ??

Braided Nylon, Poly will not work as it is not UV rated and will rot! 5/8 is about right, but make sure you put it in and then let it sit a few days before cutting the extra off, its going to stretch when pulling it to get on, and be to short when it shrinks after a few days of relaxing. een there done that!!

Heck w rope... snag some led rope lights and get ur party on!

That would be cool red & green The coast guard will love us . But lets add strobe 's for some flash:sun:

Ditto Home Depot I use the Yellow, soak the entire rope in soap water if not is a PIA to install...Mine is due for a change since I did not secure the ends and it shrunk six inches on both ends > lesson learned not too tight and secure the ends using the existing hardware or new ones.

Thanks for the info!!!

I always wanted to do this!!...and have the lights CHASE around the boat...it would look like a freakin' UFO cruisin' across the water...I remember seein' Capt Pete cruisin across Charleston Harbor one night w/his under water stern lights on...looked like spongebob was riding on a cushion of LIGHT...add CHASING LEDS to that and you'd have a helluva show at night...:clap:
