TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail Kit, 1-7/8 in x 1-3/8 in, Black Rail, Black Insert

Overview

The TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Medium 1-7/8" x 1-3/8" Rub Rail Kit is a rub rail replacement kit made from flexible black vinyl with a matching black insert. It is used to refresh the protective rail around the boat’s hull-to-deck joint while giving the sheer line a clean, finished look.

The profile measures 1-7/8" x 1-3/8" and is offered in 50' and 70' lengths, giving boat owners and yards two practical options for matching the rail run around the vessel. The rub rail comes in a continuous coil, which helps avoid unnecessary seams during installation.

This kit fits the kind of rub rail work commonly done on flats boats, bass boats, skiffs and center consoles, especially when the goal is to replace worn vinyl, cover dock rash, or restore protection along the outside edge of the hull.

Key features

• Flexible vinyl rub rail profile measuring 1-7/8" x 1-3/8" for medium rub rail replacement work.
• Black rub rail with black insert for a low-profile finish along the hull side.
• Continuous coil helps create a cleaner installation with fewer visible breaks in the rail.
• Soft durometer material cushions minor contact from docks, pilings and everyday handling around the marina.
• Tight-radius bends can be formed with minimal heat, which helps during installation around bow curves and transom corners.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Variants

This rub rail kit is offered in multiple length configurations with the same black rub rail and black insert combination.

The main difference between the variants is the total kit length. The 50' option suits shorter rail runs or partial replacement work, while the 70' option gives more material for larger hulls or installations that need a longer continuous run.

• V11-3426BBK70-2: Length 70'. This length gives more coverage for boats with a longer perimeter or layouts where extra material helps keep the rail run continuous.
• V11-3426BBK50-2: Length 50'. This length fits smaller boats or installations where a shorter continuous coil is enough for the planned rub rail replacement.

What’s included

• Rub rail
• V12-0005 insert
• F90-0001 end caps
• Screws
• Installation guide

Installation and fit

Before ordering, measure the existing rail path around the boat and allow for corners, trimming and any overlap needed at the ends. Matching the 1-7/8" x 1-3/8" profile to the boat’s original rail area is important, especially when covering previous fastener holes or following an existing hull-to-deck joint.

The flexible vinyl construction is useful for boat owners handling the job themselves, but the rail should still be worked carefully around curves so it sits flat and follows the boat’s line. The included insert finishes the face of the rail after the main extrusion is fastened in place.

Use on board

This kit is a good match for boaters restoring a work-worn rub rail after years of docking, trailering, fishing and washdowns. It also works for refit projects where the boat needs a cleaner black rail without changing the overall style of the hull.

Because the kit includes the rail, insert, end caps, screws and installation guide, it keeps the main parts for a standard rub rail replacement together in one package.
