CORRECTION on 1/5/14: In my original post I misidentified the PVC and Polyethylene tubing. I've corrected the text below to correctly identify the two different types. Sorry for the confusion - Kevin. ORIGINAL POST CORRECTED: I've been not enthused about the idea of putting a black or white rub rail insert on my blue 1993 SN. So I did some looking around and discovered on McMaster-Carr that you can buy 5/8" OD tubing in a variety of colors. I found two blue ones and ordered the minimum 10' of each to see what they are like. Here are links to the two tubes I ordered: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/139/=q3z2sz" rel="nofollow - Polyethylene Tubing for Drinking Water http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/134/=q3z3qi" rel="nofollow - Choose-a-Color PVC Tubing And below is what they look like in my rub rail. The PVC Tubing is a lighter blue but less rigid and easy to bend. The Polyethylene Tubing is quite stiff, but is a darker blue and I think looks better in the rub rail. To bend the Polyethylene tubing around the nose of the boat I'd have to trim it underneath. Also - the Polyethylene tubing has stamped letters on it that I can't figure out how to remove. It seems to all be on one "side" of the round tube, so I think I could just make sure the words are turned to the inside and it would work great. What do you think? Should I go for the darker blue but stiff Polyethylene tube or the lighter blue but more flexible PVC tube? Or should I swallow my pride and just get the black insert from Taco Marine? Also note that if the PVC tubing works it comes in black, blue, green, red and yellow. That might be helpful information for other CCF'ers. Polyethylene is on the left and PVC on the right  5/8" OD is the correct size  PVC on left and Poly on the right in this photo  One more view  And finally - a link to my http://kroundysboat.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - boat blog on the rub rail installation for anybody who is interested. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

I agree the dark blue does look better, but you bought 10 foot of each? Might as well have bought that bit more to do the whole boat first time round!!  ------------- '82 Ski Tique |

Graham, I thought about that, but why buy 50' of tubing that I don't need? This was, in the end, cheaper and in my heart of hearts I like to save money.  ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Light blue is my choice..... looks great (nice "pop"), easier to apply AND remove.....over time the rubber rub rail will dry and brittle and be prone to "chipping" when you want to remove the dark blue down the road (deal with the rotated printing). It is very NOT black, easier to apply and adjust later.... I am just happy to have gray in mine..... Would love red in the BFN. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

I vote for the lighter blue as well. I like that it is going to be easier to install, and will stand out much more than the black. I think that the printing on the dark blue is going to be problematic. Just a thought, Would you have been dissatisfied with the lighter blue if you hadn't seen the darker? It looks very similar In the photo's, but that could just be my screen too  . |

The lighter blue is not the same as the blue in the boat but it was never a match. Kris' comment about not being dissatisfied if I did not know is spot-on. I'm leaning that way now! Note the color of the 1993 rub rail on this Excel from the brochure. I considered rope, but that would be mixing years a bit. I think the rope rub rail ended in the late 80's. I don't know that it would look right in a NWZ hull. I was considering installing a blue rope at one point. That would be an interesting compromise. Any other thoughts? ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Kevin,I'm glad you found this I'm looking for the red.I'm going to try the thinner poly. When I first saw my boat it had the red on it but N3 offered to change it out to the black so I went with it I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow so you can see the difference. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Get a 3 foot piece of 5/8" rope from Lowes and try that out. I removed the blue even though it looked great and had a high quality repair done by an obvious professional  Put in Rope and loved it. It was a tough choice because both look great, but I prefer rope since it is very nautical  ------------- wwchevy 1989 Barefoot Nautique |

Hmmm... that rope does look "nautical". Purchasing 3' at a Lowes or HD is a good idea. I could always just use the rope with the boat later. Black does not look bad, Gary. That's what I will do if none of these other ideas work out. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Bravo for getting creative (and keeping the original look)! Both blues look great- the lighter one is close enough if it's easier to work with. Any idea which material would stand up better to uv exposure? The rope looks fine in a vintage boat (it was used 78-89) but it would look out I place on a NWZ boat. It also is harder to keep clean. I'd go with the black insert if the blue didn't work out, at least tht wouldn't call any attention to itself. |

ALERT! I misidentified the two tubes. The darker color blue tubing with the lettering is the Polyethylene Tubing for Drinking Water, 1/2" ID, 5/8" OD, 1/16" Wall Thickness, Blue. It is product number 51275K88 in the McMaster-Carr catalog. The slightly lighter color tubing is the Choose-a-color PVC Tubing Blue, 7/16" Id, 5/8" Od, 3/32" Wall Thickness. It is product number 9446K61 in the McMaster-Carr catalog. The good news of my mistake is that the PVC (more flexible but thicker-wall) tubing is only $0.87 a foot. So 50 feet of blue, black, yellow, green or red tubing is only $43.50. Tim - I have no idea how UV stable either tube might be. I did some checking at McMaster-Carr and did not see much about UV stability (there was quite a bit about chemical resistance). ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Kevin, did you try installing either type at the bow? Curious if they will make that turn. Keep us posted if you decide to try one or the other on the entire boat, this is definitely something I want to change on mine. Also wondering if anyone has a cross section or cut of the factory insert as a camparison?? |
Posted By: KRoundy
Date Posted: January-06-2014 at 4:17pm

The Poly (dark-blue) tube would not make that turn at the bow without kinking, which is why I noted that I'd have to make some splices in the tube. The PVC tube will make it around that corner. I've ordered the PVC tube from McMaster-Carr. It should ship out today (from their Chicago warehouse, where it must be -20 degrees F or so). I'll post an update once I install it. I have a purple insert in my garage and will take some cross-section comparison shots for you later. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

Hollywood - it is nowhere near THAT soft. I'd guess that is is only slightly more flexible than the OEM insert. The main question now is fading under UV. Update - although McMaster-Carr said they had 50' of blue tube in stock when I got my email confirmation it said that the product would ship in two weeks. Sure am glad it is not July. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

You might want to wait until July to install it though! I don't know how soft you've interpreted my comment but don't see how it matters either way. I'm envisioning fully removing it, invert the bend and then reinstall. With the cut insert this isn't an option. ------------- |

Oh! Ha ha ha... my bad. I was imagining you were thinking I could turn the entire tube inside-out, as in make the inside of the tube the outside. I don't know why I thought that. Yes, I could always flip the tube around if / when it fades. ------------- Previous: 1993 Electric Blue/Charcoal Ski Nautique Current: 2016 Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow |

I was confused on the inside out comment as well! Gary, are you talking about the standard Cipa Comp? CC (and many other manufacturers) used their M1C (7x14) for many years... at least '87-09. The mounts changed several times during that period though- I am not sure if the mount you need is CC specific or not. SkiDIM does not list any of the mounts (windshield or otherwise) that CC used, so I suspect that may be the case. http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=M1C" rel="nofollow - Cipa Comp for $35 from SkiDIM |

Got my blue tubing from McMaster-Carr and I installed it that night. I don't have any photos yet, but I think it looks great! The cost was $51.26, including shipping. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to report back on the durability of the tubing as a rub rail. I will say this - I definitely made the right choice in going with the more flexible (but still relatively rigid) tubing. It took a good amount of effort to install it. It was easy, but it just took a bit more time than I imagined. It fits into the rub rail very securely but it took some doing to get it into the areas around the corners where the rub rail tends to pinch a bit.

Hey Kevin, how will does it match up with the Blue Gel?? Tough to tell from photo's. |
Posted By: KRoundy
Date Posted: January-21-2014 at 8:45pm

It is definitely lighter than the gel color. The too-stiff Poly tubing was closer, but still not an exact match. It looks quite good in person. Unless you were looking for it I doubt that somebody will say, "Hey, that is a different color." It would have made me feel better if it were a shade or two darker to match the gel, but for $50 I'm extremely pleased. If we can source a run of actual blue Rub Rail from Taco Marine, I'll definitely sign up, but until that happens I'm quite pleased with the results. When I get the boat outside and in more natural light I'll take some more photos. Note that this event in the great Northwest is likely months away.

If you like the color insert try to find rope in the desired color. The fade factor may be much less. I originally did this with black on my 98 but it looked like a fatter rub rail. I went to the traditional three braid white and like the look. It was one of the things I had missed when I moved up from an 87 to a 98. It looks like it was factory installed and retains the classic Correct Craft feel. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

If we had an idea of what it looks like on a newer boat that would be helpful.

I ordered the red and went to do it this summer. Got about 5 feet into it and did not like the fit, just way too loose. Combine that with it being softer and gummier than the original I felt like if I parked next to a pier post the insert could roll out with the up and down wave action. I ended up putting the replacement black one back in. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

I was doing some digging and seeing if I could find some cheaper options for rub rails for my boat. I managed to find these two products from Barbour Plastics. F92021 Uniflex Rubrail. F725 Rub Rail Insert As far as I can tell these are the correct replacement Rub Rails and inserts for the 1987 to 2005 boats. The F725 is the rub rail insert and is sold at http://www.integritymarinecorp.com/. Here is a link http://www.integritymarinecorp.com/product-page/daf4fe38-c84c-1e98-ec6b-e06404028298" rel="nofollow - Insert http://www.integritymarinecorp.com/product-page/ee29b231-3893-b230-c030-e5a5ffc503d3/" rel="nofollow - Rub Rail The insert comes in various colors including Black, Dark Blue, Laser Blue, Charcoal Grey and Platinum. Unfortunately the website doesn't give examples on the colors but the prices are low enough that somebody looking for a color insert may be willing to take a chance to see if they match the original colors.. Overall the cost is around half for the rail and insert what I have found elsewhere. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

That's great. Happy my investigation last week was fruitful. I may just order one too. 250 is a great price. My rail isn't as bad as yours but a new one will really freshen up the boat. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

Thanks for saving me a ton of money. I owe you a few beers. FWIW, I spoke to Mark (integrity marine) for a few minutes and it seems that they have been making this stuff for a long time for CC and just started selling it direct a few months ago. I mentioned that I thought Taco was the OE manufacturer. He assured me they were not and much of there stuff came out of china. he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Hope this helps someone else. Great find Blamey! |

I also thought it was made by Taco but noticed none of the taco rub rails had the same shape. The sites that did sell the replacement rub rail referred to it as 'Dual Durometer' so I googled 'Dual Durometer Rub Rail' and found Integrity Marine and they had the matching rail with inserts. Sucks they don't have the colour inserts anymore, even though I prefer the look of the black insert I like to keep things looking original. Thanks for calling and confirming. I was gonna post to suggest that just to be 100% sure it was correct. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

Isn't the insert plastic tubing? Blue tubing is available. McMaster has it. The challenge would be determining the durometer. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I got the rub rail in the mail today. It is the identical dimensions as the original. It even has predrilled holes. The rubber feels very high quality.

Yes it is, I have black MacMaster tubing as the insert in my rub rail. It works fine but is a little soft. They didn't have teal to match my original insert. ------------- 96 Super Sport Previously: 95 Sport Nautique, 1980 Ski Supreme |

 I reached out to integrity marine for color samples of their rubrail insert. It is 5/8 diameter and is part #725. Top is dark blue and bottom is laser blue. I think I'll be ordering laser blue for my teal striped super sport! I think it is 0.75/foot in a 50' roll. Kyle |

Use this to check Funny Car rear tires. They usually come in between 43 and 47 ------------- Keep it as original as YOU want it 1978 Mustang (modified) |

For those that are curious, that's between a pencil eraser which is shore A 40 and a average normal tire at shore A 60. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

This is what I bought for my 95 SNOB: F92033 -- 50ft of uniflex rub rail F779 -- 50ft black insert tubing I dealt with Mark at Integrity Marine. Several pictures of the rub rail in the linked thread. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40135&PN=2&title=1995-snob-winter-overhaul" rel="nofollow - www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40135&PN=2&title=1995-snob-winter-overhaul |
