What is the TACO Metals Vinyl Rub Rail Insert made of?

It is made of vinyl and is designed to press into a compatible rub rail extrusion channel to protect the hull from scrapes and abrasion.

What sizes and colors are available in this line?

This line is available in a black 1/2 inch x 1 inch insert on a 50-foot roll (V12-0303BKA50-1) and a white 1 inch insert on a 70-foot roll (V12-0303WHA70-1).

How do I pick the right insert for my boat?

Measure the cross-section of your existing rub rail insert or extrusion channel opening, then match that measurement to either the 1/2 inch x 1 inch or the 1 inch option; also confirm you have enough roll length to cover your full rail run.

Does this include the rub rail extrusion itself?

No, this is the vinyl insert only, meant to be pressed into an existing compatible rub rail extrusion, not a complete rub rail kit.

Can I cut the insert to length?

Yes, the insert is supplied as a continuous roll so it can be cut to fit the exact length of rail needed on your boat.

Will the insert fade or crack in the sun?

The vinyl is formulated for marine exterior use and is designed to resist sun, salt, and weather exposure better than generic vinyl trim, though all vinyl will weather over many years of UV exposure.

Where is this product manufactured?

The TACO Metals vinyl rub rail insert is manufactured in the United States.

Is the white insert the same material as the black insert?

Yes, both the black and white inserts are the same vinyl construction; they differ in color and in the cross-section/length of the roll offered.

TACO Metals Vinyl Rub Rail Insert is the replacement strip that snaps into your boat's rub rail extrusion channel to protect the hull from dock scrapes, fender rub, and abrasion. Sold by the roll, this vinyl insert restores a worn or discolored rub rail to like-new condition without replacing the full extrusion, and it is built to hold up to sun, salt, and repeated impact along the gunwale. This line covers two common rail profiles: a compact 1/2" x 1" cross-section supplied in a 50-foot roll, and a wider 1" insert supplied in a 70-foot roll, so you can match the size already installed on your boat or specified by your rail manufacturer.

Sizes & Options

Measure the channel opening and existing insert on your current rub rail extrusion before ordering, since the insert must match the extrusion's cross-section to seat and lock in properly. The 1/2" x 1" black insert (50-foot roll) suits narrower rail channels, while the 1" white insert (70-foot roll) suits wider channels and longer runs. Order enough length to cover your full rail run plus a small allowance for trimming and fitting at the ends.
