My boat is 90 miles away right now so I can't check myself. Does anyone know if the Commercial Rub Rail attaches with screws or rivets?

Mine is coming off in a few spots because everyone slides off of the boat in the aft area. I was thinking of pulling the whole thing off and re-installing. Would also be a good opportunity to work on the teak gunwales.

My 1991 Guardian 19 rub rail does attach via screws placed under the center insert section of the rub rail. As I don't know what year and model you have I can't answer the question with certainty. Hope this helps.

For future reference - received this from Chuck at Whaler:

"I believe they were 3/16 X ¾” however, we changed over to #10 X 1.5” PFH screws later (much easier)."
