boat rub rail
 
Anyone ever change out the rubrail on their boat? I need to install a new rubrail on my 21' Kenner. Any suggestions or tips on brands or installation.

Thats the rubber strip that goes into the channel on the outside of the gunnel right?

Yeah, rubber bumper trim that is on gunnel of boat.

Not sure about brands but I had to do it on an Xpress and it was a pain. Used the back of my knife and a dull flat head and some liquid adhesive every foot or two. Hasn't come off since

It snaps in. Ya put bottom rib in first then use a wooden mallet ta hit the top in. Easy , no adhesive needed. Where ta get it? Search the make of yer boat n look for accessories n such. Shouldnt be too difficult

West Marine has the kits to do it, not cheap for a good one.

The most popular is Taco Marine...There are some good how to vids on youtube on replacing rub rails.
