What is the best way to patch holes if I remove the bow rails f on my boat ?
I removed my bow rail and put carriage head SS in holes , looks pretty and allows to replace rail if wanted… just saying!!!
Marine Tex color with white gelcoat to match. Will never get it to be exact color. Sand smooth with small grit paper, buff & wax.
Freind of mine installed vanished mahgoney strip of wood to cover the series of holes. This is the strip of wood for the old bow cover supports at West Marine. Turned out real nice. Steamed & curved the wood. Counter sunk the holes to fasten (use one of each old bow rail support “foot” screw holes) with mahogney plugs. Used the wood strip to mount accessories (front depth finder & rod holders).
