Rummy,

Rest in Peace good Sailor.

This man always helped out newbies, old guys, didnt care about their
politics or such.
A true good man

here's a post I saved to my computer about leaking rubrails and attaching a
new one.
A job I need to attend to next spring.

This post  was from Rummy to Art C

Art,
According to the master himself, to fix a leak at the deck joint, you must
first remove the rub rail. Remove all old fasteners and clean the area
thoroughly. The next step is to apply caulking. I recommend a single part 
urethane
caulk because of my past experience with the product. It sticks to 
everything
and anything and remains pliable over it's life which is around  twelve
years.
Normally when you apply caulk from a tube you lead with the gun and squeeze
the caulk out between the two objects you are sealing. With the hull to deck
joint you want to push the gun forward as you dispense the caulk. This gives
you  a nice seal which will fill any gaps it comes in contact with. Make
sure
all old  sealant has been removed and the area is clean and dry. While still
tacky and  drying I would then install the rub rail adding another small
bead to
the part  that pushes up against the seam. Install new pop rivets and
install
the rubber  insert and the job is done. The rubber insert can be made more
pliable with heat  from a heat gun (Lowe's has them as well as Home Depot)
or a
powerful hair  dryer.
The aluminum or SS rivets can be purchase at any good fastener outlet. I
believe I used aluminum because they are easier to work with. Make sure you
have
enough to complete the entire job in one shot.
