After posting a link on my boat leaking in rough water, it was suggested to check the rub rail. I almost crapped myself when I discovered how loose it is. It looks as though some of the screws have been pulled through. I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me how to take it apart and reattach and reseal it. It looks like it is a two piece rail. There is the main bumber that is screwed to the boat and then a trim piece which slides into a channel over it. It looks like it all comes together at the aft of the boat and is held in place by a compression cover. I suppose this is a start, but I dont know how to take the trim piece off. I am afraid that if I pull it out, then it wont go back. Also, is there a special seal that I need to buy to go below the rubrail? Or will a bead of silicone do? Thanks!
