Sea-Dog Line Stainless Steel Rub Strake, 12 Inch x 3/4 Inch, Part 055412-1
Sea-Dog Line Stainless Steel Rub Strake, 12 Inch x 3/4 Inch, Part 055412-1
The Sea-Dog Line Rub Strake (part 055412-1) is a 12 inch protective strip designed to guard your boat's dock lines, fender lines, and anchor lines from chafing against cap rails, gunwales, and other hardware edges. Mounted along a rail or edge, the strake creates a smooth, rounded surface so mooring and dock lines glide past instead of wearing against a sharp or textured edge, reducing line wear and the risk of a line failing from abrasion over time.
This rub strake is 3/4 inch wide and constructed of stamped 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion in saltwater and marine environments while holding up to repeated contact from lines under load. It installs with #8 flat head fasteners (fasteners not included), allowing a low-profile, flush-mounted finish along the rail.
Part 055412-1 is the 12 inch length in the Sea-Dog Line rub strake series, which is also offered in 8 inch, 18 inch, and 24 inch lengths to match different rail spans and boat sizes.
