TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail Insert, Black - Available in 3/4" x 3/8" x 50' to 1/2" x 1-3/16" x 70'

TACO Marine's flexible vinyl rub rail insert is a soft PVC strip that fits into flexible rub rail extrusion to cushion docks, pilings, and fenders from impact and abrasion. Sold in black, it snaps into the extrusion channel and runs the full length of the boat's rub rail, protecting the hull while giving the rail a finished, factory look. Because it is soft PVC rather than rigid plastic, it flexes with the hull and absorbs contact instead of transmitting it, which helps prevent gelcoat cracks and scuffs along the sheerline.

This insert is a wear item as well as a protective one: sun, friction, and repeated dock contact eventually crack or shrink factory inserts, and swapping in a fresh length restores both the cushioning and the appearance of the rail. It is a universal fit item, made to match specific rub rail extrusion profiles rather than a particular boat make or model, so confirming the extrusion size before ordering is the key step.

Sizes & Options

This insert is available in two profile and length combinations: a 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch insert in a 50 foot roll, and a 1/2 inch wide by 1-3/16 inch high insert in a 70 foot roll. Measure the channel opening on your existing rub rail extrusion and compare it to these dimensions before ordering, since the insert must match the extrusion profile it will be installed into. Choose the length that comfortably covers your rub rail run, allowing extra for trimming and clean seam placement.
