Hey guys needs some advice on removing my bow railing on the Nordic. Last year while floating and buddy and me were messing around on the bow and long story short he fell over but his leg got caught in between the railing and boat twisting his ankle. Sooo I'm just gonna remove it to avoid this problem. My question is how would I go about filling the holes ? Is there another way to maybe cap then instead ? Any advice would be great.
Here's a pic of the railing

Look back at the thread from Bluewater. There was a boat with the bow railing removed and had aluminum discs machined to cover the "foot print" where the railing mounts to the deck. Looked pretty clean

Yeah I just saw that on Nordic454's boat. Are those something I can buy or so they need to be made ?

I'm not sure. I'd like to find/have some made for mine. When I bought my boat last year, the railing was already gone. If I come across any, I'll let you know

It is nice being able to tie up to the rail. You might miss that.

I have cleats on the side to tie up to. I like the way it looks without the rail
So I was shopping around today for some covers and found these 3" cover plates from a plumbing store nearby. They look to fit perfect and are shiny chrome for under 10 bucks.
