TACO Marine Medium SuproFlex Rub Rail End Cap, For V11-9990, 316L Stainless Steel, Mirror Polish

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0272 is a stainless steel medium SuproFlex rub rail end cap for finishing the end of a TACO Marine V11-9990 rub rail installation. It caps the rub rail at the stern, giving the run a clean termination while helping keep the insert in place where the rail ends.

This end cap is made from Type-316L stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, so it suits exposed exterior areas where saltwater, spray, and dockside contact are part of normal use. It is a practical replacement or finishing piece for boat owners, riggers, and yards working on SuproFlex rub rail repairs or new rub rail installations.

Key features

• Made for TACO Marine SuproFlex V11-9990 medium rub rail installations.
• Type-316L stainless steel construction for exposed marine use.
• Mirror-polished finish matches polished stainless deck and hull hardware.
• Caps the rub rail at the stern for a finished edge at the end of the run.
• Helps keep the rub rail insert seated at the termination point.
• Uses #8 countersunk screw mounting for a flush fastener appearance.

Installation and fit

Use this end cap where the V11-9990 SuproFlex rub rail terminates, commonly at the stern or another visible end point on the hull. Before fastening, confirm the rail profile, insert position, and cap alignment so the end cap sits cleanly against the rub rail without forcing the insert or distorting the rail.

Because the cap uses #8 countersunk screw mounting, the fastener heads can sit neatly in the cap when installed with matching countersunk hardware. On fiberglass hulls, proper pilot holes, bedding compound, and careful screw tension help reduce the risk of gelcoat cracking and water intrusion around the fasteners.

Materials and marine use

Type-316L stainless steel is a strong choice for hardware near the waterline, swim platform, transom, or other areas that see spray and washdowns. The mirror-polished finish gives the cap a clean look against polished rub rail components and other stainless hardware on the boat.

This part is a good match for owners refreshing a worn rub rail end, completing a stern rub rail repair, or replacing a missing cap on a compatible SuproFlex setup.
