If you're speaking of the long rubber piece itself, you can usually find it at BWY (blue water yachts)... www.bwyachts.com

BWY does not handle the rubber insert for the MAC25!

oh...sorry! not sure then...
Is it the same as the 26 boat, or is it one of those that goes in-between like a piece of hose...?

Old thread, I know, but I too have rub rail prob's (primarily that the PO slathered white paint on the hull and deck and didn't seem to care when it got on the BLACK rub rail! @#$%). I've contacted WEFCO and they have that same part # available, so the question for jsbetty is: did it fit? Any issues to watch for in installing it? Inquiring but lilliputian minds want to know...

jsbetty48 has not logged onto the forum in over a year, so you might not get an answer. That's the chance you take on old threads.

Well as it happens the Quartermaster managed to get the existing rub rail substantially cleaned up with a combination of mineral spirits, baby oil, wire brush, and elbow grease :)
