I checked the parts catalog and they only show the old style handrail which were fastened from below.

Going to West Marine this week (before returning to the boat) and need to purchase some teak plugs. It's most probably 3/8" but does anyone know for sure the diameter of the plugs used on the newer style handrail?

Steve,

The teak plugs that are used on the hand rails are 1/2".

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,

Thanks for the heads-up on the plugs. I will now return the 3/8" brad point bit I purchased and get a 1/2".

Thanks again.

Steve

As I was removing the last nut from the hand rails - the screw (which was inaccessable under a treak plug) began to spin . On earlier C25 models all of the screws were inserted from below . . . on this model - every other screw is from above. To make future maintenance easier, I am going to convert the handrails to <i>all screwed from below</i>.
