What this video covers
Kent Blair installs a new rub rail and toe rail on an Alcort Super Sailfish named Zsa Zsa using primed pine trim sourced from Lowe's.0:01 He cuts the toe rail to a width of three-quarters of an inch to allow it to overlap the rub rail, creating a sealed seam at the deck edge.0:43 During the dry-fit process, he drills pilot holes every three inches along the curved sections of the bow and every 12 to 16 inches along the straight runs.1:04 He uses number six by three-quarter-inch silicone bronze screws to secure the trim, adjusting the pilot bit depth to prevent the pine from splitting.1:57 The final installation involves applying thickened epoxy between the trim and the hull, with the epoxy serving as the primary structural fastener once cured.5:43 Blair angles the ends of the trim pieces at the bow to ensure a clean fit before final fairing.9:37
