Newboy Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 On my boat, the rubbing strip has shown sights of its age by a couple of splits and a handful of small cracks. What I want to know is that whether it affects the safety of the boat or not? The mechanic who did my ob said it doesn't but I would like a second opinions.

duncan Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 2nd opinion - "it doesn't" ie it is not structural/holding the boat together. stretching a point, a badly conditioned rubbing strip might be more likely to mark another boat when you come alongside - leading to an altercation with it's owner and possible physical damage to your person................stretching it a bit though!

Maverick Martin Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yep i would go along with the mechanic and Duncan on that one. Your rubbing strip is just what is says it is and not structural in any way. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
