TACO Marine Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail, 20 ft, 1-7/8 in x 3/4 in, No Insert

Overview

The TACO Marine V21-3670 is a rigid vinyl rub rail profile for boats that need a low-profile, medium-duty rail without a separate insert. It measures 1-7/8" high by 3/4" wide and comes in 20' lengths, giving the hull and deck joint a finished edge while helping protect the sheer line from routine dock contact and rafting up.

This profile suits 26- to 50-foot boats, including center consoles, dual consoles, cruisers, high-performance racing boats, bay boats, pleasure craft and commercial models. The rigid vinyl cuts and drills with standard woodworking tools, and the rail is drilled and countersunk for #10 screws on 8" centers.

Key features

• Rigid vinyl rub rail profile measuring 1-7/8" high by 3/4" wide for a clean, low-profile edge.
• 20' length works well for replacement sections, refits and new rub rail installations where this profile matches the boat.
• No separate insert is required, which keeps the installation simpler and gives the rail a solid, uninterrupted look.
• Pre-drilled and countersunk for #10 screws on 8" centers to help keep fastener spacing consistent during installation.
• Cuts and drills with standard woodworking tools, making trimming and fitting more manageable during a refit.
• Requires heat for radius forming around tighter bow or transom curves.
• Color and gloss level are matched to gel coat for a more natural blend with the hull and deck line.
• Made in the USA and covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

Variants

This rub rail is offered in two color configurations. Both variants share the same V21-3670 rigid vinyl profile, 1-7/8" x 3/4" size, 20' length and #10 screw drilling pattern.

The color is the main visible difference, so the selection affects how the rail blends with the hull, deck and trim already on the boat.

• V21-3670WHA20D: Arctic White. This finish suits boats where a white rail needs to blend closely with light gel coat along the hull and deck joint.
• V21-3670BKA20D: Black. This finish gives the rub rail a darker trim line and is often used where black hardware, graphics or hull accents are already part of the boat's look.

Installation and fit

Confirm the existing rub rail profile before ordering by checking the height, width, length needed and screw spacing on the boat. This profile is a practical match when the vessel uses a 1-7/8" x 3/4" rigid vinyl rail and does not require a stainless steel or vinyl insert.

During installation, dry-fit the rail before fastening, trim the ends cleanly and use heat when forming the rail around radiused areas. Standard woodworking tools can be used for cutting and drilling, but careful layout matters because rub rail alignment is highly visible along the hull side.

Use cases on board

This rail is a good match for owners and yards working on center consoles, dual consoles, cruisers, bay boats, racing boats and commercial vessels in the 26- to 50-foot range. It is especially useful for refits where the goal is to refresh the boat's edge protection while keeping the profile simple and free of insert hardware.
