TACO Marine Rub Rail End Cap, For A12-0303 A12-0305 V11-3447, 1-3/8 in, Black Nylon

Overview

The TACO Marine F90-1870BKA is a black nylon rub rail end cap made to finish the end of a 1-3/8 inch rub rail installation. It closes off the exposed end of the rail, helps keep the insert in place, and gives the rub rail run a clean stopping point at the hull, transom, or other termination area.

This end cap is a small but important finishing part for rub rail replacement, repair work, or a new rail installation on a boat. It is sized for compatible TACO rub rail profiles and uses #8 screws for fastening, so installers can match the hardware to the mounting surface and the vessel’s existing rub rail layout.

Key features

• Fits 1-3/8 inch rub rail applications where a matching end cap is needed.
• Black nylon construction gives the rail end a finished look without adding metal trim at the termination point.
• Helps retain the rub rail insert so the end of the insert is less likely to lift or work loose during regular boat use.
• Designed for use with TACO rub rail profiles A12-0303, A12-0305, and V11-3447.
• Uses #8 screws for installation, allowing the installer to select fasteners suited to the mounting surface.
• Sold individually, which works well for single-end repairs or replacing one missing or damaged cap.

Compatibility and fit

This cap is meant for the end of compatible TACO rub rail sections, not as a universal cap for every rail shape. Before installation, compare the rail profile and width against the existing rub rail on the boat, especially on older vessels where the original rail may have been replaced or modified.

The black finish is a practical match for dark rub rail inserts or installations where the end cap should blend into the rail rather than stand out as trim.

Installation notes

Install the cap after the rub rail and insert are seated correctly. The cap should sit flush against the end of the rail so it covers the cut edge and keeps the insert captured. Because it fastens with #8 screws, the mounting area should be checked for backing, thickness, and clearance before drilling.

For best results, dry-fit the cap first, confirm alignment with the rail profile, and use fasteners appropriate for the boat’s construction and exposure to water. This part is a good match for repair yards, boat owners replacing worn rub rail ends, and installers finishing a rub rail run after trimming the rail to length.
