Installing a new rubrail on a 26M

Post by paj637 »

Anyone have a special technique in setting the rubrail to the point of the bow? Mine is spreading due to the sharp radius at the point of the bow and I have 5 spring clamps holding the rail against the hull joint. Anyone else had any problems installing a new OEM rubrail? Guess I could call the factory.
