TACO Marine Medium Dive Door SuproFlex End Cap, For V11-9990, Type 316L Stainless Steel, Mirror Polish

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0273 is a stainless steel medium dive door SuproFlex end cap for finishing the end of a TACO Marine SuproFlex V11-9990 rub rail at a boat dive door or side entry opening. It gives the rub rail a clean stopping point where the rail is interrupted, while helping keep the insert seated at the end of the run.

This end cap is made from Type 316L stainless steel with a mirror polish finish, a good match for exposed deck and hull areas that see saltwater, washdowns, and frequent handling. It has a flat-end profile and is specified for use with #8 screws, making it a focused replacement or rigging part rather than a universal trim piece.

Key features

• Fits TACO Marine SuproFlex V11-9990 rub rail for medium dive door applications.
• Flat-end end cap closes off the rub rail run at a dive door opening for a finished edge.
• Helps retain the rub rail insert at the end of the installation.
• Type 316L stainless steel construction suits exposed marine trim locations.
• Mirror polish finish coordinates with polished stainless hardware and trim.
• Uses #8 screws, so existing fastener size and mounting surface should be checked before installation.
• Covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

Use this part where the rub rail run stops at a dive door rather than continuing around the hull without interruption. Before ordering, confirm that the boat is using the TACO Marine V11-9990 medium SuproFlex rub rail profile, since the fit is tied to that specific rub rail shape.

During installation, align the end cap with the cut end of the rub rail and verify that the insert remains seated before fastening. Because this is exposed trim, the fasteners should be appropriate for the hull material and marine environment, and the mounting surface should be clean and properly supported.

Materials and finish

The Type 316L stainless steel body is a practical choice for a rub rail end point, especially on boats used for fishing, diving, cruising, or regular dockside boarding where trim can be exposed to water, gear, and contact from passengers. The mirror polish finish keeps the part visually consistent with polished stainless deck hardware and other exterior trim.

Use cases on board

This end cap is a good match for boat owners, yards, and installers working on a dive door rub rail detail, replacing a damaged end cap, or finishing a SuproFlex rub rail installation at a hull side entry. It is especially useful where a clean edge and insert retention matter at a high-use boarding or water-access point.
