Default 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.

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.
