Thanks Skipper I hate to do anything to my toe rail. I just took it off Pelican an refinished it. It is beautiful! With new teak plugs with grain aligned. Bristo :)
The thought of mounting a track to it is hard to take :(. I am wondering how often do you skippers with 150's actually adjust the lead on the track? I am thinking of a pad-eye on the deck at the perfect location with no adjustment. You skipper would let me know if I have laid in to much rum....wouldn't you? Thanks to all of you who have chimed in on this.
