Gary, Leslie: thanks. As I understand, parts of the toe rail on our boat are also very worn out. To be honest, I never noticed, but I wasn't looking for it when I sailed the boat earlier this year. I am not near her at present. I am only helping with the research.
South Shore/Bob seems like an excellent resource. We'll check that out. How does one know if the old sealant is butyl or something else? Can you tell from this photo? https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdwc8k7tem6s39r/toerail1.jpg?dl=0 The photo also shows how toe rail corrosion affects the topsides of our C&C 43. Repainting the topsides is on the to do list, too.
