Author	Topic:   Rub rail replacement on a '68 13 sport
johneg	posted 04-03-2003 08:34 PM ET (US)         I am about to tackle a removal of a 1 piece and putting on a three piece, can someone tell me if this is a screw in job or if adhesive is involved. Also the third piece, where does it go ?above or below? 1968 13'6" sport

The flimsy piece goes on top like your original is. The heavy white piece goes over it, one that is installed the black insert is put in. Easy job, but get a rivet gun and a couple friends.

It was kinda funny, the guy I bought the boat from had purchased the rub rail but not installed it, so it was just in a box in the boat. I had to go find another boat to see how it was supposed to fit together. Kelly
