Hi all,

Got my Champion Bass Boat out of storage and from the dealership this
weekend.

The rubber bumper strip that goes around the boat has pulled loose on the
starboard side of the boat up near the front end. It looks like it has
little nipples that fit into small holes in the gunnel of the boat. I don't
know if they once were attached to something or if they were just glued in
there. In any event, I could never get to whatever's on the inside. So . . .

Does anyone have any ideas on how to reattach, is there some adhesive I can
use? Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance guys/gals
for your help.

Mike

Rub rail? Or insert in rub rail? The rub rail usually is usually attached
with either aluminum pop rivets or stainless screws. The insert in the rub
rail is just a press fit.

There are a few (very few) boats with a one piece rub rail./ Not sure how
they are attached.

If sealed at all most guys use clear Seal All under the rub rail.

Here's an idea Josh... Bring it over to my place for a month or so and I'll
take good care of it.
