TACO Marine Rigid Vinyl Flex-Core Rub Rail, 2 in x 29/32 in, 60 ft

Overview

The TACO Marine V21-9906 is a Rigid Vinyl Flex-Core rub rail for replacing or upgrading the perimeter protection around a boat's gunwale. It has a 2 in x 7/8 in profile, with the listed product dimensions of 29/32 in W x 2 in H x 60 ft L, and comes as a continuous 60-foot coil for a cleaner run around the hull with fewer interruptions.

This rub rail uses a rigid PVC outer shape with a lighter flex core that helps with handling during installation and allows the rail to be cold formed around the boat. It is a practical fit for many fishing boats, ski boats, runabouts, bay boats, flats boats, and similar vessels, with suitability listed for boats up to 35 feet.

Key features

• Continuous 60-foot coil helps reduce butt joints around the gunwale for a more finished rub rail installation.
• Rigid PVC profile with a Flex-Core inner structure makes the rail easier to handle than a fully solid rigid extrusion.
• Cold-forming capability helps the rail follow the shape of the hull during installation.
• Drilled and countersunk for #8 screws on 8-inch centers, which supports a consistent fastening layout.
• Uses TACO Marine S11-4511 insert, sold separately, to complete the rub rail assembly.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Variants

This rub rail is offered in two color configurations for matching the boat's hull, deck line, or existing trim style.

Both variants share the same 60-foot length, 29/32 in W x 2 in H profile, Flex-Core construction, and S11-4511 insert requirement. The difference between the variants is the exterior color finish.

• V21-9906BKA60D: Black. This finish gives the rail a strong visual line along the hull and is often used where darker trim already appears on the boat.
• V21-9906WHC60D: Frosty White. This finish blends more naturally with many white gelcoat hulls and keeps the rub rail visually understated.

Installation and fit

This rail is meant for a one-piece rub rail installation around the boat's gunwale, using #8 fasteners spaced on 8-inch centers. Before ordering, compare the existing rub rail footprint, hull-to-deck joint coverage, and bend requirements against the listed 2 in x 7/8 in profile.

The insert is required to complete the installation and is not included with the rail. Check the needed insert, end caps, fasteners, and total perimeter length before starting the job, especially on older boats where previous repairs may have changed the original rub rail layout.

Use on board

This rub rail suits owners and yards working on medium-size center consoles, bay boats, flats boats, runabouts, ski boats, and similar hulls that need a clean rub rail replacement. It is most useful when the goal is to refresh the hull edge, cover the hull-to-deck joint, and add practical protection for dockside contact without changing the boat's overall trim style.
