I decided on the replacement route. The existing rail was a two piece design by Taco Marine consisting of a black rigid PVC rail (PN: V21-9678BKA20) and a soft white insert (V12-4144WH**). The rigid rail is 1-1/2” X 5/8” comes in 20’ sections and overlaps the cabin/hull joint. The insert comes in 50’ and 70’ rolls.

Using a Dremel tool with cutter wheel, I cut out a groove the entire perimeter of the joint in the old sealant and using 3M 4200, I caulked the entire joint insuring to get up into the groove I had made as well as any other spots that seemed compromised. I used 4200 because this joint was going to be covered with the rigid rub rail, would provide a bed for the lower edge of the rail and 5200 would become permanent which would preclude any future removal/repair/replacement of the rail.
