TACO Marine Rub Rail Splice Cover, For Vinyl Rub Rail, 2.36 in, Black

Overview

The TACO Marine F90-9517BKA-A is a 2.36 inch black vinyl splice cover for vinyl rub rail, used to cover breaks or joints in a boat’s rub rail run. It gives the rail a cleaner transition where two vinyl sections meet, which is especially useful during rub rail repair, replacement, or refit work.

This part is a small but visible finishing piece, so fit and color matter. The black vinyl construction matches black vinyl rub rail profiles, and the 2.36 inch size should be checked against the existing rail before installation.

Key features

• Made for use with vinyl rub rail where a splice or break needs a finished cover.
• 2.36 inch size gives the installer a clear measurement to compare against the existing rail profile.
• Black vinyl finish helps the joint blend with black rub rail on the hull-to-deck edge.
• Useful for rub rail repairs, partial rail replacement, and clean-up work after a splice has been made.
• Sold individually, which works well when only one splice location needs attention.

Installation and fit

Before fitting the cover, measure the existing rub rail and confirm that the splice area matches the 2.36 inch size. The cover is intended for vinyl rub rail, so it should not be treated as a universal part for stainless steel, aluminum, or different rail styles.

For best results on board, align the cover neatly over the joint and check that it sits flush with the surrounding rail. This helps avoid a snag point along docks, fenders, covers, or dock lines while keeping the rail line visually consistent.

Use on board

This splice cover is a practical match for boat owners, installers, and yards working on rub rail service where the rail is still usable but the joint needs a clean finish. It is most relevant on hull sides where the rub rail is easy to see, such as center consoles, runabouts, bay boats, and other boats with black vinyl rail trim.
