Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. For those of you who installed the stainless steel grab rail. Did anybody nurl the rail and did it prevent the slippage problem Paul Hood81 C&C 34 - RefugeGeorgian Bay Rick, You are correct. The holes are not standard. They were apparently drilled in place. As such each one has minute differences in placement. That's why the templates are so important. I will say that despite the appearance of the wood rails the SS ones are so much stronger and easier to maintain. Always clean and never need polished. They are slippery and if it was anyone's habit to stand on the wooden rails then they will be surprised by the insecure footing which is provided by the SS ones. That being said I would sooner tie off to the SS rails than just about any other deck mounted fitting aside from maybe the bow and stern cleats. Josh
