You can have a replacement rail fabricated at any $hop where they weld
$tainle$$ $teel. If it truly has no function, and on a 1977 cuddy
cabin- you could easily justify not spending the money to replace it.

A shop that has expertise in welding stainless is not necessary experienced
in welding aluminum.

I would suggest rebuilding the whole works with stainless.
