INSTALL THE INSERT

Uncoil and fold the insert in two to find the center point, as you did with the rub rail itself. Do this on a grassy area or smooth floor to avoid scratching the vinyl insert as you uncoil and untwist it. Place the center point at the bow and drape the two sections on top of the gunwales. Starting at the bow and working aft one side at a time, set the insert’s bottom leg into the bottom groove in the rail. Tap the insert with a dead-blow mallet to seat it. Work 4 or 5 inches at a time all way to the end of the transom.
