Mounted along an exposed rail or edge, the strake creates a smooth, rounded surface that lines can ride against without fraying or wearing through over time, helping extend the life of your dock and mooring lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rub strake measures 3\/4 inch wide and is constructed of corrosion resistant stamped 304 stainless steel, giving it long-term durability in a saltwater or freshwater marine environment. It installs with #8 flat head fasteners (not included) using mounting holes spaced 7-1\/2 inches from each end of the strake, with a 1\/4 inch hole diameter. The 18 inch length makes it well suited to longer runs of rail or gunwale where line contact is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis same rub strake design is also available from Sea-Dog in 8 inch, 12 inch, and 24 inch lengths to match different rail and mounting needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 055418-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Spacing (from each end):\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e #8 flat head (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stamped, corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.242 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 rub strake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog 055418-1 rub strake used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an 18 inch stainless steel strip that mounts along a boat's cap rail or gunwale to protect dock, fender, and anchor lines from chafing as they run against the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this rub strake?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog rub strake part number 055418-1 measures 18 inches long and 3\/4 inch wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 055418-1 rub strake made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of corrosion resistant stamped 304 stainless steel, suitable for continuous exposure to saltwater and freshwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the rub strake come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, fasteners are not included.
