Has anyone had any success replacing a small portion of the vinyl rub rail?
I have 2 small sections that have "rubs" on them, they've been there since I've had the boat and it bugs me every time I see it.
I talked with the Sea Ray factory this morning and got the part number.
Supplied by Taco V21-9681WHC20D but it not a profile that is currently produced by them
I have. When I bought my boat it had a couple of damaged areas as you mention, and Taco no longer makes the exact profile. However they have profile that is extremely close. What I did was have the existing rub rail taken off of my swim platform, and used that as the "donor" rub rail on the hull and used the newer profile rub rail on my swim platform. My swim platform and hull come within an 1/8" of each other and you can't tell a difference between the two profiles. The bonus is that since I only needed about 6 feet to fix the damaged areas on the hull to begin with, I now have about 14 feet of original rub rail in stock.
