TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail, Black, 50 ft, 1-1/4 in x 15/16 in

Overview

The TACO Marine V11-3447BKA50-1 is a black flexible vinyl rub rail supplied in a 50 ft continuous coil for replacing or refitting the protective edge around a boat hull. The profile measures 1-1/4 in high by 15/16 in wide, giving owners a defined size to compare against the existing rail before ordering.

This V11-3447 profile accepts the V12-0003 flexible vinyl insert and uses the F90-0002 end cap, both sold separately. It is a practical match for many fiberglass boats where the rub rail needs to follow the hull shape around the bow and corners without using short joined sections.

The profile suits small boats in the 15 to 22 ft range, including bass boats, fish boats, bay boats and flats boats. Its flexible vinyl construction helps absorb everyday dock and piling contact while keeping the hull edge covered during normal coastal, lake and dockside use.

Key features

• 50 ft black flexible vinyl rub rail for hull edge protection and replacement work.
• 1-1/4 in high by 15/16 in wide profile for checking fit against the existing boat rail.
• Continuous coil format helps reduce visible seams during installation around the hull.
• Accepts V12-0003 flexible vinyl insert and F90-0002 end cap, both sold separately.
• Can be bent around tight radius areas with minimal heating, useful around bows and transom corners.
• Uses #8 screws, with drilled and countersunk mounting on 6 in centers when installed as specified.
• Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Compatibility and fit

Before ordering, compare the existing rub rail profile to the 1-1/4 in by 15/16 in size and confirm the insert style. The matching insert for this profile is V12-0003, so this rail should not be mixed with a different insert unless the fit has been checked carefully.

The black finish works well on boats with dark trim, black inserts or hull graphics where the rub rail is meant to blend into the sheer line rather than stand out. Because rub rails vary by boat builder and model year, measuring the current rail and checking the profile shape is the safest way to confirm fit.

Installation and setup

This rail is handled as a flexible vinyl coil, which makes it easier to work around curved fiberglass hulls than a rigid section. A clean mounting surface, careful alignment and steady screw spacing are important for a straight result that follows the boat evenly from bow to stern.

The vinyl insert, end caps and screws are sold separately, so they should be planned with the rail before the job starts. For a replacement project, inspect the old fastener holes, backing surface and any hull edge damage before installing the new rail.

Use on board

This rub rail is a good match for boat owners refreshing a worn or faded rail, repairing collision marks from docks, or restoring protection along the hull-to-deck joint. It is especially useful on smaller fishing and cruising boats that spend time around docks, ramps, slips and floating lifts.

Once installed with the correct insert and end caps, the rail helps take the regular scuffs and light impacts that happen during docking and trailer handling, while giving the boat edge a finished look.
