Subject: Removal of toe rails
Info: (19622 views) Posted: Friday 7-11-14 11:00:11 PM
I removed the toe rails on my boat and screwed down a long ~1/4" plastic strip instead to have a little bit of resistance to someone sliding in the water. Like Chris, I now regret doing it as well. The toe rails are much safer and they have functionality as well, since blocks, etc. can be attached to them for running rigging.

:: Last year I started removing the tow rails on Ergo and I
:: cannot describe how much I REGRET this decision and I
:: miss the toe rail. I have only remove the starboard
:: side.

:: My solution for replacing the toe rail is to glass in ½
:: inch rounds, which after completion of the first one
:: looks nice and is more comfortable for hiking.
::
:: Personally I would NOT recommend removing the toe rails
:: at all.
::
::
:: :: I am thinking of removing the side and rear toe rails
:: :: and wondering what to do with the holes.
:: ::
:: :: Do people put bolts with washers back in and seal the
:: :: bolts?
:: ::
:: :: thanks!
