Hi all,
I am going to install a new rubrail, I want to screw in the rigid instead of riviting it, has anyone done this and what size screw did they use.
Thanks

I took mine off a few weeks ago and the screws were 3/4" stainless steel. I think they were #8s. There were holding just fine. It is my understanding though, that if you order a new rubrail through Twin Cities Marine they give you a choice of screws or rivits and they are included.

LabCab is right. Sue can set you up with screws or rivets. I just re-installed mine with rivets. Went well!
