292 bent bow rail
 

Just got the boat out of storage and guess what, I have a nice bent port bow rail around either side of the second stanchion. Any advice on how to fix it? I assume I'll have to go up under the headliner to remove the bolts. If a machine shop can't straiten it out, anyone know how much a new rail runs? :(

Unless it's got a kink in it (if its just bowed down), you should be able to put it in a press and straighten it.

Thanks Slick, I hope so...MTF

Put a block of wood on each side of the rail before you try to press it that way it wont kink at the pressure point.
