I use the ends of the genoa track adjusters - lay them along the toe rail, run them through a hole in the rail and let them hang down about six inches. Wicks the water out. Why C&C didn't put a drain at the low spot is beyond me - I have a bunch of friends with a little drain there which has an elbow out the side or toward the stern. Design deficiency.

Sent: March 1, 2013 9:37 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Aluminum toerails - cosmetic improvement I have a piece of line laying in the low spot on each toe rail. The ends of the line go through the toe rail about 2-3 holes apart and hang down a foot or so away from the side of the boat. The lines wick water over the side so it doesn't go out through the holes. Reduced the streaking. Dennis C.

It's just dirt, and can be washed off if caught early. My friend waxed his toe rails and it made a big difference.

He told me he waxed them to stop the black streaks running down the side of the hull. Wouldn't say what kind of wax, but his looked like they were freshly and professionally painted. The automotive black trim polish might work? I also tried Penetrol but it didn't last long and I got streaks on the hull. Can you wax over penetrol?
