Hey, I reinstalled my rubrail and came up about a foot short. Apparently you’should heat them up so you can stretch them...lessons learned!

Anyone know where I can get a foot of it? I can make my insert work because now that I know, I’ll heat it up first. I’ll check some local boat shops too.

Not sure I understand what you are talking about. Are you talking about the aluminum part and not the rubbery part? If so, how can you possibly come up short. Need pictures on this one. :noidea:

Sure thing. Here’s some pics. It’s plastic/rubber with an insert.

Somehow I would think that heating and stretching would not be a good way to go ... Heating to bend around corners yes .
I have never used that type rail so I could be wrong ...
