Sea-Dog Stamped 304 Stainless Steel Rub Strake, 8 Inch x 3/4 Inch

This Sea-Dog Rub Strake is a stamped 304 stainless steel strip designed to protect your boat's dock lines, fenders, and anchor lines from chafing against cap rails, gunwales, and other hard edges. Mounted along the point of contact, the strake creates a smooth, rounded surface so mooring and dock lines glide past instead of wearing against the hull or rail, reducing line wear and preventing scuffing of the boat's finish.

Constructed of corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel for reliable performance in marine environments, this rub strake measures 8 inches long and 3/4 inch wide, with a 1/4 inch profile. It installs using #8 flat head fasteners (fasteners not included), allowing a low-profile, flush-mounted finish along the mounting surface. The 8 inch length is one of several sizes Sea-Dog offers in this rub strake line, making it easy to match strake length to the area needing protection.
