So I ordered and received my rub rail protectors for my 22SSX so I can avoid further "bunk burn" as others have suggested on this board. I am convinced that these are not "protectors" of the rub rail at all, but were marketed and sold that way because it sounded better than add on piece of aluminum to prevent your snaps from rubbing holes in your bunk and so you can snap your mooring cover on device!
Anyways, after receiving them I started scratching my head and wondering how should I attach these?
I did some research and it seems the best option would be to use aluminum screws or bolts since I will be attaching aluminium to aluminium. Problem is that finding aluminium screws and/or bolts is next to impossible.
Others have said just use a high grade stainless steel screws or bolts with some grease and a nylon washer to slow down/prevent corrosion.
I saw some pictures but I cant tell what Bennington uses other than the heads look rounded...I want it to look nice with a rounded head.
Thanks in advance.
