Found a bow rail

[awthacker]

I'm going to pick up a bow rail for my boat. Can anyone tell me what fasteners I should expect to remove? Are they just screws like wood or sheet metal screws, or are they fasteners, like nuts and bolts that need to be gripped from the underside while the screw is turned?

Thanks,

Aaron

mine ('83) was held with screws, when i replaced it i used bolts & nuts with fender washers.

Pick up a new can of WD-40 or the like...a small pair of vice-grips unless you're taking help...a SHORT phillips screwdriver and a long one...I think the nuts underneath are about 10mm or American equivalent...a step-ladder to get up to it from outside helped me on a few tough ones...be ready to rumble!!...some don't come easy...
