[Rhodes22-list] rub rail leak

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Hank
  thanks for sharing that info on the rub rail.
  Has anyone changed their rub rail?

  I was hoping to it during the winter.  WM sells generic ones that 
are very similar to
the one I have on Miracles.
curious to know if anyone has changed it and what they used as a replacement.
  Lou
