The instructions in the link below pretty vaguely tell you to use a "marine quick sealing caulk" with mounting holes drilled every 6 to 8 inches.
Are you trying to reuse the old holes that you must have filled with something when you took the wooden ones off? Since you mention adhesive, most people would say the 3M 5200 has better adhesive qualities of the stuff mentioned. |

The original spray rail was wood, cracked and old. I’m not comfortable trying to recreate wood, so found some taco semi rigid
Yes filled old holes with glass, added blocking behind to grad new screws Pretty happy about new rail going on Hopefully never need to remove, so probably 5200 I’ll check with taco marine instructions too |

Forgot the link earlier
Removing something that has been adhered/sealed with 3M5200 is a lot easier with some heat from a heat gun. A couple hundred degrees is plenty.

The taco marine rail is very very nice
Perfectly extruded smooth shaped pvc Appears pure no inclusions Nice product. Shipping kills, but taco will cut and 12’ to cut shipping by $500. Heated up with garage type propane burners to bend worked. |

Can you explain what you're trying to say here? What was your sealant/adhesive choice?

Sure that was code
Taco sells rail in 20’ lengths for long boat’s install one piece Shipping from Florida to Calif $1000 for 20’ tube However We SN folks real only need 12’ So taco will cut at 12’ and 8’, reducing shipping to $500 And using 5200 (700 psi strength) appears 4200 is half the strength (300 psi). |

It was not easy decision
But looked at other ideas for couple years finally decided I needed to do it It has a great profile, like a wedge Flat 3/4” top and fatter 1-1/4” concave underside for curling water over |
