TACO Marine Aluminum Rub Rail, 3/4 in x 1/4 in, 12 ft, Clear Anodized

Overview

The TACO Marine A50-0195TAL12D is an aluminum rub rail for adding a polished protective edge to a boat hull, deck joint, or exposed seam. It has a 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch profile, a 12 foot length, and a polished, clear anodized finish that suits bright trim layouts on runabouts, center consoles, sport boats, and restoration projects.

This rub rail works as both edge molding and a seam binder, so it is useful where the boat needs a clean metal trim line without a separate insert. The rail is drilled and countersunk for #5 screws on 6 inch centers, which helps keep installation spacing consistent along straight runs and shaped sections.

Key features

• Aluminum rub rail with a 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch profile for hull edges, deck joints, and seam coverage.

• 12 foot length for longer trim runs along gunwales, transoms, cockpit edges, or other exposed boat seams.

• Polished, clear anodized finish adds a bright metal trim line and helps the aluminum stand up to the marine environment.

• Drilled and countersunk for #5 screws on 6 inch centers for a clean fastener layout during installation.

• Can be bent and formed to a tight radius, which helps when matching curved boat contours.

• Works without a vinyl insert, keeping the finished look simple and traditional.

Installation and fit

Before ordering, compare the 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch profile against the existing rub rail or the seam area it will cover. This style is a good fit when the boat needs a low-profile metal edge rather than a larger impact rail with a separate insert.

Use the pre-drilled holes as the spacing guide and fasten with compatible #5 screws. On older hulls, check the backing material and seal each fastener point as needed so water does not migrate into the joint or core.

Use on board

This rail is well suited for owners replacing worn aluminum trim, cleaning up a hull-deck joint, or finishing a restoration where a classic polished metal rub rail matches the boat better than a black vinyl profile. It is especially practical around areas that need a neat edge and light protection from dock contact, fenders, lines, and normal boarding use.

Care and maintenance

Rinse the rail with fresh water after saltwater use and clean it with mild boat soap. Avoid harsh abrasives that can dull the anodized finish, especially on visible trim runs where the polished surface is part of the boat’s appearance.
