Keder Railing size

Raydar

Hello all. Quick question,  we have just purchased a new 2020 T@b 400 and was wondering if anyone would know the size needed for the Keder Rail. TIA

I assume you are asking about keder cord. I purchased some 8.5mm (5/16") to fabricate a screen skirt and it seems to fit fine. Larger sizes would go in a little tighter but also offer a bit more grip if that's a concern.

The keder rail gap on mine is 1/4". The width of the opening (where you slide the cord in) and the inside channel is 3/8" - 7/16" at best--it's hard to get the calipers in there for a real precise reading.

I don't know for sure if the keder rail size has changed since 2015, but I doubt it.

We ordered the same size (8.5mm) and it worked perfectly.

Scott, I’m trying to design a screen skirt for my 2020 320s BD. Any suggestions/tips/pics based on what you designed? Thanks!

@yshelburne, you can see some photos and a brief description of the design in this discussion. We don't deploy the panels often, but they sure are nice to have when the 'skeeters get thick. 

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
