ESTIMATING RUB RAIL LENGTH
The Taco Marine Rub Rail Replacement Guide cross-references the original factory
Rub Rail used by over 80 of the leading boat manufacturers since 1993. Follow
these steps to find the Rub Rail that you need:
1. Look up the make of your boat
2. Match the Rub Rail and insert to your existing rail (all profiles are to scale)
3. Choose the preferred color
4. Call a distributor or retailer to verify availability of the suggested Rub Rail
5. Place order and get confirmation
ORIGINAL & COMPATIBLE
Taco Marine supplies the original rub rail
to most of the builders listed in this guide.
Compatible rub rails are provided for those
boats where the builder has more than one
supplier or uses a competitor’s product. In
most cases, the product is virtually identical
and interchangeable for all practical purposes.
However, on older boats, the original rub rail
may not be the current one installed.
> Ensure the length of the
Rub Rail is sufficient for
your boat. It is always
best to buy an extra
10' for trial and error.
> Make sure to purchase
all the materials needed
(Rub Rail, insert,
fasteners, end caps,
splice caps, etc…) to
complete the job.
> Carefully read all the
instructions before
beginning and/or watch
the Taco Marine Rub Rail
Installation Video which
you can view online at
TacoMarine.com.
> You can replace your
rub rail with a factory
replacement style or
a completely different
look. Regardless of
the material originally
installed by the builder
of your boat, feel free to
choose the material and
style you desire.
> It is easier to install if you
remember to choose a rub
rail that is at least the same
height as the original.
> Flexible vinyl rub rail is
the easiest to bend and
provides a cushioning
effect when in use
against normal bumps
from pilings and docks.
> Rigid vinyl, as well as
aluminum rub rail with
flexible vinyl insert,
performs well, lasts long
and is easy to install in
straight runs.
> Rigid vinyl rub rail
with stainless steel
overlap provides the
best protection and the
longest useful life.
> Rub Rail, insert
(if required)
> Measuring tape
> Safety goggles or
glasses
> Two cordless drills
(one for a screw
driver bit and one
for a drill bit)
> Putty knife or
scraper
> Caulking gun with
silicone sealant or
a tube of 3M 5200
> Metal file or
coarse sandpaper
to remove burs
> Heat gun (for rigid vinyl Rub
Rail with flexible inserts)
> Garden shears (for cutting
flexible vinyl rub rail
with insert) or hacksaw/
power saw and cutoff
wheel (for cutting
Stainless Steel overlaps)
> Miter box (for metal and
rigid vinyl Rub Rail)
> Rubber mallet
> Proper size and type
fasteners
> Work gloves for good grip
and handling materials
that may be heated from
exposure to the sun

Ideal chafe protection…

Stainless Steel overlays and inserts have
other applications. They can be used as chafe
protection for your boat with or without use of
any extruded Rub Rails. They can also be a nice
addition to any current flat face Rub Rail to
provide a clean and updated look to your boat.

RUB RAIL REMOVAL
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
1. Remove the end caps.
2. Remove the insert
and the stiffening strip
(if there is one).
3. Remove the screws or
rivets that attach the rub
rail to the hull. If the rub
rail is fastened with pop
rivets, drill out the rivet
head and push the shaft
in, to prevent rattling.
4. Remove the rub rail.
5. Use a putty knife to scrape
off any old sealant, being
careful not to scratch the
gel coat (it is unnecessary
to remove all the old
sealant, just the excess).
6. Fill all holes with
sealant/3M 5200
(you will be drilling new
holes for the new rub rail).
7. Let the sealant
cure according to
the manufacturers'
suggestions.
Make it even more
convenient by purchasing
a Flexible and Semi-Rigid
Rub Rail Kit complete with
everything you'll need in
an easy to carry box.
REMOVAL OF OLD RUB RAIL & HULL PREPARATION
CAUTION
If your rub rail comes
coiled, stand in the
center of the coil when
cutting the straps so it
unwinds away from you.
Be prepared for quick
movement of the coil.

FLEXIBLE VINYL RUB RAIL INSTALLATION
1. Place masking tape above or below where the
rub rail will go. Mark where the new holes are
going to be located. Be sure to avoid the old
filled holes. Space the holes a maximum of
6"apart. Note: this should be the first step in all
rub rail installations.
2. Mark the midpoint of the rub rail with a piece of tape
and soak the flexible rub
rail in a tub of hot water
(maximum 120˚F) or
outside in the sun on the
grass or pavement. Avoid
sliding or dragging the rub
rail on the pavement, as it
will scratch. Either process
should take at least 20
minutes to properly heat
the rub rail.
3. While it is warm, lay out
the rub rail (following the
gunwale of the boat) with
the mark at the bow.
4. Drill 2 holes through the
rub rail about 2" apart
on one side of the bow
and install the truss-head
screws. Use silicone on
the threads to create a
water tight seal.
5. With the two fasteners
installed at the bow, go
to the stern and stretch
the rub rail by pulling it
from the bow, towards
the stern. Drill and install
two screws at the stern
position (this must be done while the rub rail remains
warm and pliable).
6. Quickly do the same stretching and fastening procedure
on the opposite side.
7. Install the rub rail along the transom and install a screw
1" back from the center line. Trim off the excess. Repeat
the process on the other side (use a heat gun to bend on
tight corners).
8. Go back to the bow and begin drilling the holes according
to the marks you made on the masking tape. Put silicone
on the threads and install the screws.
9. Repeat the process until the entire rub rail
has been installed.
10. For installation of insert and end cap, please follow the
instructions on page 44.

INSTALLATION - Flexible
TIPS
> To ensure a
straight and
consistent
installation
when installing
Flexible
Vinyl Rub Rail,
it is best to
stretch the rub
rail during the
installation
process. Two
people make
this job much
easier!
> With Flexible
Vinyl Rub
Rail, the
opening for
the insert and
fasteners may
be narrower
than the screw
head. During
installation,
have
something
handy that
can spread
the opening
until the screw
head has
passed the
front opening.
> Use caution -
the drill chuck
can damage
the rub rail if
it touches
during drilling
of the holes.
> Be careful
not to
over-tighten
the screws
or the rub rail
will pucker
(wrinkle).

INSTALLATION & MORE
SEMI-RIGID VINYL RUB RAIL INSTALLATION
This rub rail comes in complete 30' kits which
include end caps, screws and is predrilled. The
average boat requires two kits. When cutting,
use a miter box to insure the rub rail you are
installing has a straight end.
1. Place masking tape above or below where the
rub rail will go. Note: When a screw is properly
installed into the hole, the screw head should sit just
below the surface.
2. Start in the middle of the transom, or if you are not going around the
transom, start at the corner of the transom. Have a helper unroll about 4'
of rub rail and take the curve out of it.
3. Starting 12" from the end, drill through the
predrilled rub rail holes into the boat, or drill
and countersink the rub rail. Coat the screw
threads with Silicone or 3M 5200 and install
the screw.
4. Continue uncoiling, straightening and drilling
or drilling and countersinking. Coat the
threads and work in one direction around
the boat until you have installed the first coil.
Leave the last 12" unfastened. We will finish
this in step 8.
5. When you have to bend the rub rail around a
corner, move the heat gun back and forth to
prevent overheating the rub rail.
6. Straighten out about 4' of the next coil.
Overlap the end of the last coil by 1/8" and
attach the first screw approximately 12" from
the end. Leave these two ends loose for now.
7. Continue installing the rub rail until you come
to where you started at the transom or at the
corner of the transom leaving the last 12"
unfastened. If you are ending the rub rail at
the corner of the transom or motor well, you
can now install the corner end caps.
8. To make splices, pull the two sections towards
you until they meet and push in until they
snap into place. Drill through the rub rail and
install a screw 1" & 6" from each end.
9. For installation of insert and end cap, please
follow the instructions on page 44.
INSTALLATION - Semi-Rigid
TIPS
> Once the rub rail comes in contact with the hull stop
tightening the screw!
> When making splices, make sure the ends are cut
straight and smooth

INSTALLATION & MORE
RIGID VINYL RUB RAIL INSTALLATION
1. Place masking tape above or below where the rub rail will go and
mark where the new holes should go.
2. Place the center of the first length at the bow. If there is a screw hole
at the center, offset it 4" to one side. Check to see if any of the holes
line up with a filled hole, slide the rub rail a couple of inches until all
rub rail holes are clear of previous gunwale holes.
3. Press the rub rail against the hull and go back to one end. Leave the
first two holes undrilled. Drill through the third pre-drilled hole. Coat
the screw threads with Silicone or 3M 5200 and install the screw.
Repeat this process until you reach the bow.
4. Bend the rub rail around the bow using a heat gun, moving it back and
forth to prevent overheating or burning the rub rail.
5. Continue installing screws until you get to
the other end of the rub rail. Leave the last
two holes undrilled.
6. Start the next length by overlapping the
previously installed length by 1/8" and
begin attaching it leaving the first two holes
undrilled. Complete installing this length
leaving the last two holes undrilled.
7. Continue installing all the lengths until you
reach the unfastened end of the first piece
you installed at the bow, cutting it so it
overlaps that piece by 1/8". Leave the last
two holes undrilled.
8. Splices are made by pulling out on the two
ends until they touch and pushing in so they
snap into place, then install the screws.
When installing heavier rub rail (like the
V21-1025 or V21-1039) the ends are simply
butted together without overlapping.
9. For installation of insert and end cap,
please follow the instructions on page 44.

INSTALLATION - Aluminum & Stainless Steel
TIPS
Aluminum
> Have one person
heat the rail and
the other slowly
bend it around and
avoid forcing the
material due to
inadequate heat.
> Before installing
the rest of the
rub rail, put it up
in position and
check to see if
any pre-drilled
holes line up
with filled holes.
You will be able
to adjust the
hole location by
cutting off several
inches from the
end that butts up
to the previously
installed piece
> Before bending,
if the rub rail
takes an insert,
install about 6"
of insert into
the bend site to
keep the channel
from collapsing
or losing shape
during bending
but do not cut it
off the roll.
> Thoroughly clean
both sides of the
stainless steel
rub rail.
Do not use
cleaners with
abrasives. Be
careful - edges
may be sharp!
ALUMINUM RUB RAIL INSTALLATION
Available in 12' and 20' lengths with holes pre-drilled every 6".
Some aluminum rub rails incorporate vinyl inserts and others do not.
1. Place masking tape above or below where the rub rail will
go and mark where the new holes should go.
2. Place the center of the first length on the bow. If a
mounting hole is already there, move it to one side 3".
3. Press the rub rail against the hull until you come back to one end.
4. If any of the holes line up with the filled holes, try
adjusting the rub rail a few inches one way or the other.
Avoid a hole within two inches of either side of the bow.
5. Drill through the pre-drilled holes with a drill bit smaller
than the screw.
6. Coat the threads with Silicone or
3M 5200 and install the screw.
7. Continue this process up to the
bend at the bow.
8. Bend the rub rail around the bow by
applying steady pressure with one hand while
you lightly tap the rub rail with a rubber mallet where you
want it to bend. Once bent remove insert and install screws.
9. Complete the installation of the rest of the rub rail.
10. Butt the next length up against
the previously installed length. If a
hole lines up with a filled hole, cut
a few inches off the end in a miter
box. This will change the location
of the holes.
11. Continue this process until you come
back to the other end of the length
you installed at the bow. Measure
the last length carefully so that it fits
tightly and install the screws.
12. For installation of insert and end
cap, please follow the instructions
on page 44.
STAINLESS STEEL RUB RAIL INSTALLATION
Stainless Steel offers the maximum durability, while
maintaining a classic style. Stainless Steel rub rail is available
in 304 and 316 grade in widths from 1/2" to 2" and in solid
back and hollow back. All stainless steel rub rail is pre-drilled
and countersunk. Depending on the style, these rub rails can
be installed directly on the boat as a rub rail or as an overlap
on rigid vinyl rub rail. Follow instructions same as aluminum
(above) with the exception of the following:
1. When bending it around corners, use a rubber mallet to
ensure a tight bend. stainless steel requires a lot more
force to bend than aluminum.
2. Cutting the stainless steel rub rail is best done with a
cut off wheel. If discoloration appears, polish it out with
some rouge and a polishing wheel.
3. When used as an overlap, the mounting holes should be
between the mounting screws of the rigid vinyl rub rail.
When mounting to rigid vinyl rub rail, use short
screws that do not penetrate the hull.

INSTALLATION - Insert, End Caps, Strakes & Ends
INSTALLATION & MORE
INSERT INSTALLATION
There are three types of inserts. As indicated below, the first two must be
heated in order to be installed. Install inserts beginning either at an end cap
or at the transom.
TIPS
> To avoid insert shrinkage, always screw down each
end of flexible insert. The screws will be hidden from
view once you install the end caps.
Tubular
1. Using a heat gun, heat approximately 3' of insert until it compresses with a pinch.
2. Flatten the insert between your fingers and insert it into the rub rail until the
heated section has been installed.
3. Repeat in maximum 3' increments until the entire insert has been installed.
V12-0303
1. Using a heat gun, heat approximately 2' of insert until it is hot to the touch.
2. Insert a few inches of the top leg into the rub rail.
3. Using a stiff putty knife, poke the bottom leg into the channel.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 until the heated section has been installed.
5. Heat the next 2' and repeat steps 2 through 4 until the entire insert has been installed.
Flexible Inserts
1. These inserts can be installed at room temperature.
2. Squeeze the insert between your fingers and insert it into the channel of the
rub rail until the entire insert has been installed.
3. Tapping it with a rubber mallet will help set the insert. Inserts V12-0317 &
V12-0334 need to be set by tapping it with a rubber mallet.
END CAP INSTALLATION
There are two types of end caps:
1. In-line end caps are installed on the same
surface as the rub rail.
2. Corner end caps are used when a rub rail ends
at the transom. Corner end caps are installed
on the transom with the cap extending out the side to cap the rub rail.
RUB STRAKES
Stainless steel are designed to screw down to the deck to
prevent chafing of lines from anchors, dock fenders and mooring
lines. These are very attractive and functional accessories and
available in multiple widths and lengths from 8" - 24".
RUB ENDS
Stainless steel rail ends add a finished appearance to the ends of
stainless steel rub rail. The rail end has a square cut edge designed
to line up perfectly with the terminating end of the stainless steel
rub rail, while the other end has a tapered finished look. Available
in 3/4" and 1" width pre-drilled and countersunk screw holes.
