I am replacing my coaming teak trim with Plasteak. It will be about $60 for the custom cut for the pair. I'm posting in case anyone else is interested. I will have a final price in a couple of weeks. White plastic replacement trim is about $42, so the appearance is worth the extra $20 for me.

Any idea if the coamings are dimensionally the same on a 1989 versus 1982 ? I have not really checked out how the coamings are installed and how removed. I may be interested.

I am redoing all trim removing varnish and applying teak oil, periodically. I finished the companionway boards last summer and utilizing Sunbrella cover snapped on, the boards require no real cleaning and I only swipe on teak oil, a 10 minute job, periodically. Planning on doing the same as I complete covers for the top rails and companionway trim but the coamings......I am not planning on attaching any covers on them and they would be my last varnished hold-out. So...if not a big deal to replace with Plasteak, I would be interested.

I believe early models had them screwed on but the screws caused the teak to crack. Later Catalina just glued them on with an adhesive caulk. CD only shows a single replacement so I think they are all the same size.

I held mine on with Polysulfide. Stayed in place until I pryed them off with a quarter. The teak trim pieces are delicate so handle with care.

CD sells plastic as well as teak replacement trim for the coaming -- you might want to see what they recommend to attach the plastic version

The plastic version that CD sells are white. I think he wants them to look like teak but in plastic. Hence the Plasteak.

You could always stick on some wood grain "contact paper".

Bruce - Great idea - Use "contact paper". So, anyone have photos of a white plastic tiller or one cut from pine and then using contact paper on it to give it that rich teak looking appearance ? LOL

Plasteak isn't the answer for me. The guesstimate was of by about 150%! They want $75 apiece, $150 for the pair. OUCH! I guess I'll be making my own or have a friend cut them on his CNC from a Plasteak board if he isn't busy.. It isn't a big job, but I didn't want to sacrifice the time.

A 3D printer would come in handy...

You'd need a hell of a 3d printer for a piece that big.
