Do you rebed handrails every year?


Who, me?

No.

The handrails on the tugboat go thru a flange around the
cabin top, so the bottom of the bolt doesn't come into the
cabin. So it's less critical.

OTOH the last time I rebedded the hand rails was 2 1/2 years
ago and so they are getting about due this season. The time
before that? Dunno, going by the former owners maintenance
log (and what I've seen of their handiwork).... never. Maybe
that means it won't really be "due" for about 18 years?

How often does everybody else do them?
