Misc. EQ Rub Rail End Caps

[jkinchley]

I am looking for two "arrow" endcaps for the rub rail on my Ericson 38. Anyone happen to have a couple hanging around?

Second choice: perhaps scan and 3D print?

I thought someone had already posted his method a long time ago. I believe he still had ne end cap. He removed it, and pressed it into a clay mold. He then removed it and poured epoxy into the indentation. Some sanding and painting and it was complete. Simple and easy.

Maybe call Taco Metals? They make most of the rubrail parts used on boats (not sure about Ericsons). Just browsing their catalog and they have many end cap options: https://tacomarine.com/rub-rail-acc...SRwpXtiqQHWE7poMtZIkSom6db3KE5bVWyfbcPBIa6mrX

These look pretty close: https://www.google.com/search?q=rub...5072776910901478,pvt:hg,pvo:3&oshop=apv&pvs=0

If you’re in Southern California, look up Minnie’s yacht surplus in Costa Mesa. I would be surprised if they didn’t have it.

+1 for Taco Marine. If you can't find anything, Google "T-Track End Caps." Lots of varieties of these in 1 & 1.25" widths:

If you have one as a sample, just make a paster of paris mold and fill it with resin, then paint with silver spray paint.( use mold release)

No one will ever know the difference even from 12" away.
