Made some stainless rub rail end caps today... the old ones were looking tired. I still need to polish them.

Nice job , I have looked all over the web to find new ones for my boat and cant find anywhere .
 
i saw some on ebay not long ago... I think tayler marine in OC MD has them. ... i just wanted to make my own.
 
Those look great. Take a pic when they are installed.
 
thanks, here is a test fit... need to remove the old sealant and reseal it. Decided not to fully polish and went with a fine brushed look.

They look fine to me! nice work!

It would be great if you could hide the screws... somehow
 
Seriously, if you are going to make a few more, I'll buy some. Please let me know.
 
Dear 192... you just got yourself a new job: Official Rub Rail end cap provider... to us all! :mrgreen:

hehe just kidding, geat job mate!

PS> I just replaced mine laste year with plastic ones, otherwise, I'd want some too! Wait, how much are they?
 
Please PM me... I wasn't planing on making more but if your interested send me a message. Stainless steel isn't an easy metal to work with and these may look easy to make and in theory they are but take time to get right.
 
PM sent. I am very interested, I thinnk the stainless looks much better than the blue plastic.
 
Ok I have thought about it more and I think I should just make 10 or 20 sets. I'm thinking $75 a set. They will be an exact match, even better then the ones I made.

I'm pretty sure all the older Grady's have the same rub rail. I know the newer ones with the stainless rails there a little bit different, and already have a stainless end cap.

The plastic ones are $30 a set I think.


Reactions....?
 
yes 316 SS...

I need to hear from you all, if 5 or more want them I will make them. also I think the bigger boats have larger rub rails... I'm not 100'% but if that's the case then I would need someones end caps to make duplicates.
 
Hi,

Do you have any of these end caps available? If so, I'd be interested in buying a set.

Thanks.

Dave
 
I need a set. There are stainless caps on ebay that look like ours not sure if it's the same guy. I haven't compared measurements yet. I couldn't find any from Taylor Marine.
 
I also need a set for my '99 Marlin. My end caps are almost completely disintegrated. Anyone have any updates on this?
