Re: I have a problem with rubber rail on boat falls off
It all depends on the fitting (if any), the type of trim, and the mounting surface,as to what to use to re-attach it. Is it cemented directly to the jellcoat in other words?

O k <br />her is some more information this is a two peace rail where the boat rail is one part <br />is attached with screws then the second part<br />has two slits then you fit it in by sliding<br />it in but when I go out on water and boat hits the dock it starts falling of
Re: I have a problem with rubber rail on boat falls off
I understand. Seems like the molding part may be worn.<br /><br />I don't think there is really much you can do.<br /><br />You can take the strip off, line it up with the screws and back one out at a time and screw through the bumper part back into your hole thats holding the rail.<br /><br />Other suggestion would be to get a new molding piece. Seems like yours is worn pretty bad.<br /><br />Good luck
Re: I have a problem with rubber rail on boat falls off
I think i follow you. It's the bow railing, sliding-out of it's deck mounted flange?<br />If so, just drill a 1/8" hole in one side,and op rivet the two together, or use stainless sheet metal screws to secure it.
Re: I have a problem with rubber rail on boat falls off
Over time the molding will shrink & dry out. Before you start drilling & putting screws in it. Go to your local boat supply house & order some new... probably can do this on-line if I recall correctly. Call you boat mfg & they probably have in-stock. As the OLD stuff will keep coming out... know by experience!!!<br /><br />
Re: I have a problem with rubber rail on boat falls off
hamilton marine catalog has a large selection of rub rails , you just match what you have up with pictures. You try using a larger size screw to hold it on?
