Bow rail replacement on 2004 1801

[ehfisher]

I purchased low bow rail thinking i would just be able to remove the high rail and simply bolt on the low rail. much to my surprise the low rail requires 4 bolts and they do not really line up with the three previously drilled holes. Anyone have any advice on how to fill the old holes so it looks seamless?

Yes, I had the same problem with holes in my console. The good news for you is that you can buy pint cans of Parker Gelcoat from your dealer. It matches perfectly. Wet sand and polish with rubbing compound, top off with wax and you will not see the fix.

Fill the existing holes with thickened epoxy first, then gelcoat to make it "purdy".
