Hi,
I bought my 1971 E29 about two months ago and I've been poking through the site finding tons of useful information. The first thing I had to do after getting the boat home from a sopping wet 3 day cruise was to rebed all the hardware as it leaked like a sieve. After doing the windows, stantions, jib tracks and chainplates I still had water coming in from about 6 of the screws that hold the rub rail moulding on. This kind of scared me as I thought it would be a difficult job. Today I went at it and to my suprise it took less than an hour to remove, clean, caulk (5200), and replace the screws on the starboard side. The worst part is reinstalling the rubrail. Here is a picture of the rubrail half removed and of the hull to deck joint.
