This weekend I am removing my old alumium rubrail and installing SS. Is there any easy way to bend the SS rubrail? I am not worried about the bends at the rear of the boat I am worried about the bend around the front of the sponsons! Any help would be great!
Thanks

The most important step is to layout and have the least amount seams on side and NOT have a hole fall on bend , that will make it easy to kink . Any and all outside bends you simply screw RR to boat and when you get to a bend put cardboard on paint to protect and work rail around , a rubber hammer can help . Inside tunnel I made a wood form of tunnel where rail fits ( subtract with of rail x - 2 ) screw rail to wood form and bend around corners of form . If you need a pic I still have form , hope this helps . One more tip I also used long straight edge @ seams to insure there was no droop
