TACO 70' Flexible Black Rub Rail Insert 1-3/16" x 1/2"

The TACO 70' Flexible Black Rub Rail Insert 1-3/16" x 1/2" is a marine-grade vinyl insert designed to conceal fasteners and deliver a clean, finished appearance on flexible rub rail systems. Made in the USA, this soft PVC insert absorbs impact and provides a protective cushion between the rail and boat hull, reducing stress on fastener holes during docking, tie-ups, and normal cruising operations. At 70 feet of coverage, it addresses the fastener concealment needs of mid-to-large recreational and offshore vessels.

The 1-3/16" width and 1/2" depth dimensions are engineered to fit standard flexible rub rail extrusions, creating a seamless profile that integrates flush with the rail system. The black color resists sun fading and blends with most hull finishes, while the flexible vinyl construction allows the insert to conform to curved hull sections without splitting or cracking. The soft PVC formulation maintains flexibility in cold water conditions and salt spray environments, critical factors in offshore and year-round boating applications. TACO Marine backs this insert with a 5-year limited warranty, reflecting confidence in durability and material longevity.

This product serves weekend fishermen protecting moderate-sized craft, as well as serious offshore anglers maintaining larger vessels where miles of rub rail demand consistent, reliable protection. The insert eliminates water intrusion around fasteners, a common source of corrosion and structural damage in salt water. Whether you're outfitting a new boat or refurbishing aging rub rail systems, the 70-foot length covers substantial sections of hull perimeter, reducing the need for multiple orders and simplifying installation logistics.
