What’s in the Box?

This "Kit" is designed to be a comprehensive solution for rub rail replacement or new installation:

• 60-foot Continuous SuproFlex Rub Rail: One continuous coil to minimize seams.

• 60-foot Flex Vinyl Insert: To be snapped into the profile for a finished look and to hide fasteners.

• End Caps: Typically included to provide a clean finish at the transom.

• Installation Hardware: Stainless steel screws specifically sized for the pre-drilled (or non-drilled) profile.

• Installation Guide: Step-by-step instructions for mounting and trimming.

Key Benefits

• Ease of Installation: The SuproFlex material is significantly lighter and more pliable than traditional rigid rub rails, reducing the labor time and the need for heat guns.

• Durability: The vinyl overlay insert provides extra cushioning against docks and pilings while protecting the mounting fasteners from corrosion and debris.

• Seamless Look: The 60-foot length ensures that most small to mid-sized boats can be completed with a single continuous piece around the gunwale.

Pro-Tip: While SuproFlex is designed to be installed without heat, laying the coil out in the sun for 20–30 minutes before starting can make handling even easier, especially when navigating around the bow.

Installation & Compatibility

Before ordering, measure the total length of rub rail required around your boat and confirm that the 1-5/8" x 7/8" profile is suitable for your existing hull and deck joint.

Important: Boat length alone does not determine the amount of rub rail required. Measure the actual installation perimeter to confirm that the 60-foot kit provides adequate coverage.

Installation Note: Follow TACO Marine's installation instructions, use appropriate mounting locations, and verify that the rub rail is properly secured. The flexible construction requires minimal heating and no pre-forming for many installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I need to heat the SuproFlex rub rail before installing it around the bow?A: SuproFlex is designed to be far more flexible than traditional rigid or semi-rigid PVC rub rails. While minimal heating may help on extremely tight radius bends, the material generally wraps easily around bow curves without extensive pre-heating or pre-forming.

Q: Does this kit include fasteners and end caps?A: Yes. The V11-9991BBK60-2 is an all-in-one kit that includes predrilled mounting holes in the rub rail, stainless steel mounting screws, stainless steel end caps, and the flexible vinyl overlay insert.

Q: What size boat is a 60-foot rub rail kit suitable for?A: A 60-foot kit provides enough continuous rail length for most boats up to 22–24 feet in length, depending on beam width and transom coverage. Always measure your vessel's total gunwale perimeter before ordering.
