Stainless Steel Rub Rail
Complete Your Purchase
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 range of rub rail sections to suit various 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.
A solid back is ideal as a stand-alone rub rail, 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 several sizes to choose from, allowing you 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 uneven surfaces; the relief on the back side allows the rail to cover minor surface imperfections. Hollow back also works with the Taco rigid vinyl rub rail to add structure and a highlighted detail. Check the profile of the rigid rub rail to ensure it matches the correct stainless steel rail width that has been molded into the vinyl. Like the solid back, the hollow back can also be used as a rub strake to protect gelcoat and paint from chafe damage caused by lines. All Hollow back sections are 304 polished stainless steel, pre-drilled and counter-sunk for fasteners on 6" centers.
Rail ends provide a nice detail to finish a section of rub rail. They can be used at the bow or stern to “dive” the rail into the surface and eliminate sharp edges and unsightly gaps. They are a time-saving alternative to grinding and polishing the back rails. Available in widths to match commonly used hollow or solid back rub rails, they add a professional and finished look. Rail ends are polished 304 stainless steel and pre-drilled and counter-sunk on 6” centers.
