TACO Marine SuproFlex Small Rub Rail End Cap, For V11-9960, Type-316L SS, Mirror Polish

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0274 is a small stainless steel end cap for finishing a SuproFlex V11-9960 rub rail at the stern of a boat. It closes off the end of the rail run and helps keep the insert seated, giving the installation a clean termination point instead of leaving the rub rail open at the transom.

This end cap is made from Type-316L stainless steel with a mirror polish finish, so it matches the look of polished stainless rub rail hardware used on exposed deck and hull areas. It is made for #8 screw fastening and is a fit-specific accessory for the SuproFlex V11-9960 profile.

Compatibility and fit

This part should be matched to the SuproFlex V11-9960 rub rail profile before ordering. It is not a universal end cap, so the rail profile matters more than the boat brand or model year.

It is commonly used where the rub rail terminates at the stern, including transom corners and aft rail ends where an open insert could shift or look unfinished. For a clean installation, dry-fit the cap against the rail end before fastening and make sure the insert is fully seated.

Installation notes

Install the cap after the rub rail and insert are positioned correctly. Use the correct #8 fastener for the mounting surface and avoid overtightening, since the cap needs to sit cleanly against the rail without distorting the surrounding trim.

On boats that see regular washdowns or salt exposure, rinse the stainless surface with fresh water as part of normal deck hardware care. The mirror polish finish can be maintained with the same non-abrasive cleaning approach used for other polished stainless fittings on board.
