Rub rails for use with rigid vinyl rails or as a stand-alone with molded ends. Stainless steel rub rails offer a nice detail to the shear of a boat. Taco Marine offers a variety of rub rail sections to match a wide range of applications. Some rails can be used in conjunction with mounted rigid vinyl rub rail systems to add protection and a contrasting detail. Other rails are ideal for use all alone and add a nice highlight between the deck and the hull. Solid back is ideal as stand-alone rub rail that is best installed on flat surfaces. The ends can be ground to any shape and polished to restore the finish without compromising corrosion resistance. There are a couple of sizes to choose from to match a desired look or meet a specific function. Solid back rails can also be used for rub strakes where lines hit hard on gelcoat and painted surfaces. All solid back sections are 316 polished stainless steel pre-drilled and counter-sunk for fasteners on 6” centers. Hollow back rub rails offer a little more versatility and are more forgiving when installed on angled or less than flat surfaces; the relief on the back side allows the rail to cover minor surface imperfections.
