I can't imagine this would need to be done. Have you seen where they are leaking? If they are coming in at the joint, the water would have to come slightly uphill. More likely they are leaking around the bolts, just find the leakers, pull them out, goop the hole good with your fingers and do the threads etc up with (warm) butyl, put them back in and squeeze out the butyl. I would be surprised if this doesn't work, worked for me. Usually is around bolts that hold stanchions because of all the yanking they get.

Is there anything you did or would do again which made the job easier? What solvent did you use to remove the old butyl rubber? What complications did you encounter (eg screws seized or stripped) What manpower did you have - eg one inside, one outside or is there a way to do it solo?

I removed Wild Rover's toe rails and re-bed with 1/8 butyl tape 5 years ago and have had no problems. I would use 1/16 if I did it again but at least I know I can do it again as I did not use and marine adhesive. The black toe rail expands and contracts a lot and at a different ratio than the fibreglass so I figured the highly flexible butyl would be the best choice. I'm glad I did it. As the years go on I know I'll need to torque the bolts a bit and eventually re-do but that's boat ownership. Maintenance never stops.

My thought is to remove the bolts, clean out all the old material between the underside of the deck and the rubrail and between the bottom of the toerail and the top of the deck. I would use Skiaflex to reseal these areas and Buytul tape for the bolt holes. Any thoughts, experiences? > Jesse A.
