In Response To: Re: Rub rail going on (Capt Patrick McCrary)

Patrick,

I do have one question.

I know I will need to fill some areas with bedding compound regardless of fit.

This question is as follows. The old rail was through bolted in the bow. Should I through bolt the bow on this one, to pull it in that extra 1/8th to 1/4" or so, or will it simply pull the head of the bolt right through the PVC rail? And should I through bolt the joints where I can get at them like the old one was? Is it worth the extra effort?
