Start by removing the endcaps at the transom. Then just pull the rope out starting at one end. It will probably come out a lot easier than it will go back in. Under the rope you should find a screw about every 4 inches, or so. Remove them all. On my boat there were also screws beneath the rubrail. When you put the cap back on make sure to seal it up good with one or more tubes of 3M 5200 before reinstalling the rubrail. Fill the seam as well as all old screw holes.
