TACO Marine Small Dive Door SuproFlex End Cap, For V11-9960, Type-316L SS, Mirror Polish

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0275 is a stainless steel small dive door SuproFlex end cap for finishing a TACO Marine V11-9960 rub rail installation at a boat dive door. It caps the open end of the rub rail at the door area, giving the rail a clean termination point and helping the insert stay seated where the rail stops.

The end cap is made from Type-316L stainless steel with a #8 mirror polish finish, so it matches polished deck hardware and holds up well in exposed saltwater areas. It uses #8 screws and is meant for visible locations such as dive doors, transom access points, swim platforms, and other openings where the rub rail needs a neat, secure finish.

Key features

• Fits TACO Marine SuproFlex V11-9960 rub rail for small dive door terminations.
• Type-316L stainless steel construction for areas exposed to spray, washdowns, and salt air.
• #8 mirror polish finish gives the end of the rub rail a clean look near visible boarding and dive access areas.
• Caps the rub rail at the dive door and helps keep the insert in place at the rail end.
• Uses #8 screws for installation with the matching rub rail profile.
• Covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

This end cap should be matched to the SuproFlex V11-9960 rub rail profile before installation. On a refit, compare the existing rail shape and termination point with the replacement part so the cap sits correctly at the dive door opening.

For a clean installation, the rub rail end should be cut and dressed carefully before the cap is fastened. A marine sealant can be used where appropriate to help manage water intrusion around fastener holes and cut edges, especially on transom and boarding areas that see frequent spray.

Use on board

This part is a practical choice for builders, refit yards, and boat owners finishing a rub rail around a dive door or similar access opening. It is most relevant on boats where the rub rail ends in a visible, high-contact area and the installation needs both a finished appearance and a secure end point for the insert.
