    Once I remove the rope should I remove the top cap screws and apply sealant to each or tighten and run bead of silicone over top all before putting rope rub rail back in?

    That piece of angle in the pic is just a trim piece. The rub rail cap in the pic are just a trim cap. You can take them off without having to support the motor. Rub rail ends screwed screwed to boat and the trim end caps are screwed over/through the rub rail ends.

    If you remove the trim angle and the end caps. When re installing them, seal the crap out of them with 4200 or silicone or both. I just did mine on my Champ.

    Once I remove the rope should I remove the top cap screws and apply sealant to each or tighten and run bead of silicone over top all before putting rope rub rail back in?

    YES... And check the silicon bead under the rub rail all around the whole boat.
