when I replaced my rub rail I had alot of loose screws in mine , I tighten them and installed the new rubrail and then fill under the rub rail with black silicone , that way I wouldnt get any water splashing back inside the hull .

as far as I can see it worked well.


lookin good brian

Thanks guys....has been a long time since I posted....my motor started screwing up last summer and I could never figure out the issue. It was an '89 yamaha 130 and everything pointed towards the CDI unit...but I just couldn't convince myself that was the problem enough to make me spend the $500 for a new one....ended up finding a company that fabricates and sells them for much cheaper....hooked it up last weekend and now the boat runs like a top!! Super Excited.

So anyway....I still have not done anything with the rub rail...that will probably be next winters project....but I did paint the floor with durabak and wasnt sure if I ever posted updated pictures afterwards

No joy on the pictures here either...but I would take care of the hull/cap separation problem before any serious offshore trips...be a shame all that hard work becomes an artificial reef somewhere...pull the rub-rail and see what you got...I fixed mine w/#8 SS screws and filled remaining gap w/4200...she's SOLID now...

With my old '74, I could SEE the water comin' in...w/yours having a full liner you might not know it's there til the bilge pump comes on...or worse...

stu, can't tell by pic exactly where the seperation is on the hull. but would it be possible to put a inspection plate in the liner so you could get to the back of the hull? you could put a backing plate and tru bolt the rub rail ,cap and liner.


just noticed your from daphne, i installed the irrigation at timber creek, rock creek, glenn lakes, & kiva dunes. spent about 2 years at the knights inn in spanish fort....

How about some help on this also.....there is some cheap plastic trim that goes around the inside ledges.....it is all cracked and busted.....looking for an idea of how to replace it. First thing that came to mind was starboard.....but could be kind of a pain cutting all those strips....and expensive. Anyone replaced this??
