GUNWALE RUB RAIL RIGID PVC 38MM X 3.65M BLACK (B) BODY ONLY

Please Note: This is not a complete product. You must purchase the desired length of Stainless Steel Insert 19mm to attach to the PVC body. Refer to related products below. Stylish and easy to fit, 38mm PVC rigid body with small leg, designed to carry 19mm stainless steel insert for a classic look. For use on power boats and yachts this rigid PVC rub rail provides an attractive boat fendering option. Features: Black PVC body (also available in white - see related products) Sold in pre-cut lengths of 3.65m Stainless steel insert sold separately Stainless steel end caps sold separately Mounting hardware not included Fixing Method In order to achieve a good finish we recommend that 2 persons are used when fitting this profiles. Remove any existing profiles, end caps, insert, fixings and fendering. There will quite likely be silicone sealant behind the fendering which might pull away when the fendering is removed, otherwise use a putty knife to gently remove any excess or loose silicone sealant. New holes will probably be required for the new fendering so go around the boat filling in the holes left by the old fendering’s fixings sealant. Place Rigid PVC Body against the hull (if the profile has a lip then this should cover the underside of the deck moulding). Place the pre-drilled stainless steel insert (sold separately) into the channel. It may assist to hold the insert in place with masking tape which also can be used to protect insert when drilling, then drill directly into the hull and secure in place with screws. Tip: by applying some sealant to the end of each screw before fitting you will ensure that each hole is well sealed. Lengths should be butt joined to give the appearance of a continuous length. Trimming may be required of the body in order to finish the transom. We recommend using a hack saw to achieve this and an end cap should then be used to complete the finish. Secure and finish the fendering with an end cap (where available). Please note: In ambient conditions this Rigid PVC Body should be able to be fitted without prior heating, however, in some cases it may be necessary to apply heat directly to the area with a hot air gun. In these extreme cases be sure to apply the heat over an area and not just to a single spot. This will avoid any potential damage to the hull, paint, gelcoat or fendering.
