[Rhodes22-list] hull-deck join fastening

Wed Jun 15 09:26:03 EDT 2016

The aluminum Rub rail on my ’84 was riveted at 6”o.c.
I just replaced it with a black vinyl/white insert from Defender $209. 50 ft is enough (it stretches) 
Used SS screws at 6” o.c. but could not use the 1-1/2 screws provided by Tyco because they are too long.
