What sizes does the TACO Metals rub rail insert come in?

It is available in two sizes: 1 Inch x 70 Feet, and 1-13/16 x 1/2 Inch x 50 Feet, each sized for a different TACO rail extrusion profile.

How do I pick the right size for my boat?

Measure the channel opening of your existing rub rail extrusion and match it to either the 1 inch wide profile or the stepped 1-13/16 x 1/2 inch profile; the two inserts are not interchangeable between rail types.

What color is this rub rail insert?

It is black, one of the most common rub rail insert colors and one that blends with most hull and trim color schemes.

What material is the insert made from?

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) vinyl is used for both sizes, chosen for its flexibility and resistance to sun and saltwater exposure.

Can this insert be cut to length?

Yes, both the 70 foot and 50 foot lengths are supplied as continuous rolls so you can cut them to fit the specific rub rail run on your boat.

Is this insert designed to fit a specific rub rail extrusion?

Yes, each size is a vinyl insert intended to fit into a matching rub rail channel; confirm your existing rail accepts the profile you are ordering before purchasing.

Will this insert fade or crack in the sun?

The PVC vinyl construction is formulated to resist UV fading and cracking under long-term sun and saltwater exposure, though like all vinyl it will show wear over many seasons.

Can I install this insert myself?

Yes, the insert is designed to slide or snap into the existing rub rail channel by hand or with basic hand tools, without needing to remove the entire rail.

Sizes & Options

This insert is offered in two distinct profiles to match different TACO rub rail extrusions. The 1 Inch x 70 Feet option (V12-0303BKA70-1) is a straight 1 inch wide insert on a long 70 foot roll, ideal for full-length rub rail runs on mid-size to larger boats. The 1-13/16 x 1/2 Inch, 50 Feet option is a stepped-profile insert sized for a different TACO rail channel, supplied in a 50 foot length. Before ordering, measure your existing rub rail channel width and confirm which profile your extrusion accepts, since the two inserts are not interchangeable between rail types.
