I need to remove and rebed the teak toe rail on my 1977 O’Day 27. I use Shanti for cruising on Sodus Bay & Lake Ontario. Do I do a straight forward remove, refinish,
epoxy hole plug routine, rebed & replace the teak toe rail. OR do I replace the teak with an aluminum toe rail. The PO installed T-track on portions of the existing teak toe rail. I’m guessing for better pointing performance? Thoughts on that…Shanti carries a 150 Genny. There are also 6’ & 3’ [forward of that] sections of deck mounted T-track.
The aluminum toe rail from WM uses1/4” mounting screws. This seems light to me. The mounting screws are sold separately. It also comes in 34’ lengths @ $800. Any better vendors out there? Beyond the question of my sanity there is the question of symmetric or asymmetric shape to the toe rail itself. So in this case I know that I don’t know what I don’t know….Thoughts & advice appreciated.
Thanks Wayne
