Yes they do leak. Prepurhase survey on my ¡®97 362 found wet core all around port handrails so PO paid for replacing core (from the inside) and rebedding both sides . Fastened with self tapping screws into deck alone. Kinda quick and dirty. ?But it has worked (mechanically) for 28 years. Sabre could have done a better sealing job.?

Hi all,
can the handrails cause leaking? I re-bedded both rails with Butyl Tape, and was expecting through bolts to secure them. Instead, they were screwed on. ?Do the screws go all the way through? The fiberglass roof liner blocks the view.?
thanks,
Mike
