TACO Marine Weather Seal Tape, 10 ft, 7/32 in x 3/8 in, Black

Overview

The TACO Marine V30-1333B10-1 is a black weather seal tape for sealing small marine access points where water, vibration, and sun exposure can shorten the life of lids, covers, and compartments. It measures 10 ft long, 1/4 in high, and 3/8 in wide, making it a practical fit for livewells, exterior doors, instrument covers, and electronic boxes.

This seal uses a synthetic rubber compound with closed-cell sponge construction, so it helps limit water absorption while cushioning contact surfaces. The black profile keeps the installation low-profile on many deck, cockpit, console, and compartment areas.

Key features

• 10 ft length with a 1/4 in height and 3/8 in width for compact sealing jobs around lids, covers, and small access points.
• Black synthetic rubber construction helps resist water absorption, sunlight damage, and temperature extremes in marine environments.
• Closed-cell sponge rubber helps cushion contact surfaces while reducing shock and vibration.
• Self-adhesive backing supports a cleaner installation without separate fasteners.
• Useful for livewells, exterior doors, instrument covers, and electronic boxes where a tighter seal can help protect the surrounding area.

Installation and fit

For the best bond, the mounting surface should be clean, dry, and free of old adhesive, salt, wax, oil, or loose material before the backing is applied. A flat, continuous contact path helps the tape compress evenly when the lid, door, or cover is closed.

The 1/4 in profile should be checked against the available gap before installation. Too little clearance can make a hatch or cover hard to close, while too much clearance may prevent the seal from compressing enough to do its job.

Use on board

This weather seal is a good match for boat owners replacing worn gasket material on livewell lids, console doors, instrument covers, and small electronics enclosures. It is especially useful in areas exposed to spray, washdowns, UV, and vibration from normal running conditions.

Maintenance and care

Inspect the seal periodically for compression set, peeling edges, cracking, or contamination from fuel, cleaners, or deck residue. When the seal no longer rebounds or the adhesive begins to lift, replacement helps restore a cleaner closure and better surface contact.
