General Discussion

One winter project I would like to check off is rebedding the rub rail. There are several stripped screws and some gaps between the rub rail and gunnel. On previous temporary repairs, I had to use an angle grinder to get the butt joints to match up properly - like the boat shrunk or whatever bedding was under the rub rail disappeared.

Dose anyone know if CC used anything like butyl rubber tape under the rub rail? It is the solid stainless steel rub rail on a 69 35SC.
