TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail Kit, 1-7/8 in x 1-1/8 in, Black Rail, Black Insert

Overview

The TACO Marine V11-2423 Kit is a flexible vinyl rub rail kit for replacing or upgrading the protective rail around medium-size boats. It uses a 1-7/8 in. profile and is supplied in 50 ft. or 70 ft. lengths with a black rub rail and black insert, giving the hull-to-deck joint a finished look while adding a cushioning edge for dock contact, rafting, and everyday handling.

This kit is a practical match for fish boats, bay boats, and commercial boat applications where the rub rail needs to follow curves without excessive heating during installation. The rail comes as a continuous coil for a clean, one-piece run, and the soft durometer vinyl helps absorb impact along the sheer line.

Key features

• Flexible vinyl rub rail kit for medium-size 22 to 30 ft. boat models
• 1-7/8 in. rub rail profile with black rub rail and black insert
• Available in 50 ft. and 70 ft. kit lengths to suit different hull sizes and installation plans
• Soft durometer rail helps cushion impact at docks, pilings, and alongside other boats
• Tight radius bends require minimal heat, which helps during installation around corners and transom areas
• Continuous coil supports a one-piece installation with fewer visual breaks along the hull
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty

Variants

This flexible rub rail kit is offered in two length configurations. Both variants use a black rub rail with a black insert, so the main selection point is the amount of rail needed for the boat.

The 50 ft. kit is suited to shorter replacement runs or smaller boats within the supported size range, while the 70 ft. kit gives more material for longer perimeters or installations where extra length is needed for trimming and layout.

• V11-2423BBK50-2: Length 50'. This configuration gives a 50 ft. continuous coil for installations where a shorter rub rail run is needed.
• V11-2423BBK70-2: Length 70'. This configuration gives a 70 ft. continuous coil for longer hull perimeters or projects that need more material for fitting and trimming.

Installation and fit

Before ordering, measure the existing rub rail path around the boat and allow enough extra material for trimming, corners, and final alignment. The flexible vinyl construction helps the rail follow typical hull curves, but careful dry fitting still matters, especially around the bow and transom corners.

The black insert covers the fastener line once installed, giving the rail a cleaner finish and helping protect the hardware from direct exposure. This style works well for owners replacing a worn rail, repairing dock rash, or refreshing the hull edge during a refit.

Use cases on board

This kit fits boats that see frequent dockside use, fishing days, marina slips, and workboat-style service where the rub rail takes regular contact. It is especially useful when the existing rail has become brittle, scuffed, loose, or mismatched after previous repairs.
