[C38] Stern Rail

[Tom T.]

Steve, 

Unless you had a major collision at sea totally destroying your stainless stern rail, why don't you just have your stern rail repaired?  Stainless is fairly easy to work with if someone has the correct equipment.

I welded supports to my stern pulpit to strengthen the forward part where the pelican hook connects.  I mounted my new bimini on that strengthened overhang instead of mounting it on the gunnels where the original bimini had been mounted.

I did the welding modifications with the stern pulpit still on board without even removing it which made for a very easy and fast modification.

Unless your stern rail is badly destroyed, any good welder with a TIG or MIG welder should be able to repair the damage.
