I'm taking on a project to install new rub rails on my boat. I understand the process and am unsure about the white portion of the rail and how it wraps around the end of the stern. Should there be a separate piece on the back of the stern? Also, I am looking for a picture of how the original stern light secures to the floor of the boat. I have the bushing on the side that it slips into but no hardware for the bottom that locks it in place. Thanks for your help.

Tom I have an 1989 outrage 18/19 and I'm not sure if it's original but I can send you a pic of what is in place on mine. I should be going to the marina this afternoon and will get a pic then.

The white receiver is cut at a 45 degree angle at the stern corners. The black insert is NOT cut and is continuous around the corner.

Try and save your old pieces and use them as scribes. It is a 45 degree cut but, it is a "compound miter". The bottom half of the plastic receiver is angled towards the boat. I cut and fit the mitered ends before the install leaving the long ends (from the stern to the bow) a little long. Doing the install of the insert is like working with coiled concrete (a description from another member that I agree with). Start at the miter joint and work the starboard and port sides towards the bow. Leave the last couple of feet unattached and fit /cut in place to complete the install. Make sure you leave them long....I thought I overkilled the extra length but only had 4" extra on one of the pieces.
I have 50' of new black rubber insert and my old black rubber insert from my 1979 22' Revenge. You can have the old one free with shipping or the new one for $65 plus shipping. I scored a length of the red and never installed the black one.

Thank you Joe, much appreciated! You are soooo much help! When I get the boat completely done I'm going to feel like you own half of it!

Tom - If you go to my personal page, there is a photo of the rear starboard corner. This is on a 1986 Outrage 18.

Dreilly,
I looked at the photo of the rub rail corner, clean example. I also noticed your transom was raised to the height of the gunnels, was that factory original??

Garris,
I think that is an optical illusion. I have the normal, notched transom.

Mine went in pretty easy. I just worked it with my fingers on a warm day. Had a rubber mallet and tapped it on the installed area a little as I went, to "bed" it a little better. However, I did have some dish washing soap and a heat gun handy (tricks I read posted here) but never had to use them. Having some one to hold up the uninstalled piece in front of you would help but I did it by myself. Actually quite easy, especially compared to the receiver. Do have an extremely sharp utility knife (one where the knife extends out pretty far) for forming the two corners of the bend on the rubber. As I cleaned mine up all I could think of was "mistake" and ordering a new piece.

Put the insert in hot soapy water.
Pinch the top and bottom into the groove and use a rubber mallet to seat.
