Hi Glen,
I thought this subject was familiar and dug up an old message I sent
out last year, as below. It was two years ago that we completed the
deck repaint using two pot polyurethane.
Rest assured, the toe rails do not spring back to straight and
require very little flexing to line up the holes again on install. In
regards to boat projects it's not nearly as big as an engine swap.
Tedious, yes. Difficult, no. If my starboard rail starts leaking it
will be off in short order and redone.
Each year I think that the port side needs to be taken up a bit,
since a wee gap is showing between inboard edge and deck, but no leaks.
Now, let's start a new thread on replacing that Atomic 4 with a nice
diesel because they're so much better. :)
Cheers, Russ

I've done the port side toe-rail. Starboard not leaking yet :)
No big deal except a few nuts are difficult to get at.
- remove toe rail, two parts
- clean up corrosion and repair with Devcon or other epoxy/metal
repair compound
- sand repair areas and paint (I used flat black spray paint)
- apply butyl tape & reinstall (do not tighten hard, just a wee bit
o' squeeze on butyl)
- rinse & go for a sail
Cheers, Russ

Hello everyone,
I am planning to keep Freya IV out of the water this summer to redo
the toe rail and get rid of the wet core on the deck. I understand
this is a big project and I have professional help on core repair
and the awl grip job to get it done. That said, I would greatly
appreciate assistance on re-bedding the toe rail and any issues that
anyone has come across in prepping the deck for priming/painting. I
have given myself until next May to get everything done, although I
want the toe rail re-bedded and the deck painted by this fall at the
latest. I have other projects to complete over the winter-----and
no I will not be replacing the Atomic 4.
I love my 35 mk I. Hopefully this will bring her to showroom
condition. Thanks in advance.
