Nice work on the rub rail.

No offense but I just don't get the fascination for stainless steel anchors.


All I keep thinking is Rodney Dangerfield.... "Hey you scratched my anchor!"

The LED lights turned out nice... I like that you have them mounted under the swim platform.

Where did you get the ESP rub rail and did you use screws only or caulk on glue?

When I took delivery of my 2004 Sundowner, I noticed some damage to the rub rail on the ESP. The FW dealer I bought it from got me some lengths of the rubber extrusion and the stainless infill ( they are over 100 miles away, it wasn't worth my while to take the boat there for repar). 5 years on, the parts are still in my garage!

They must be available from FW dealers.

Picked it up from Melvin Village Marina, and had it shipped in from Cadillac, MI. It had to come tractor trailer, as I got the stainless insert in the full 16' length. I've got a spare in my garage, as it would have been stupid not to get a spare as the shipping charge was $150 for as many as they could fit in the tube! Extrusion came rolled up and could have shipped UPS, but cheaper since a semi was coming with it.

Screws only, with some 4200 on them.

Is what? Your swim platform rub rail..yes it is, but you appear to have a black rubber insert.
