It has a black 1-7\/8 in. x 1-1\/8 in. profile and is offered here in 50 ft. and 70 ft. lengths, giving installers practical options for different hull sizes and repair scopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rub rail comes in a continuous coil, which helps reduce visible seams around the boat and makes it easier to follow curves at the bow, stern corners, and sheer line. The flexible vinyl has a soft-durometer feel that helps cushion normal contact with docks, pilings, and other close-quarters surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good match for boat owners, yards, and installers working on center consoles, cruisers, skiffs, bay boats, and similar fiberglass boats where a black flexible rub rail profile is needed for impact protection and a clean finished edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack flexible vinyl rub rail with a 1-7\/8 in. x 1-1\/8 in. profile for hull-side protection and a finished perimeter edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous coil format helps keep the installation cleaner by reducing joints and breaks along long runs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft-durometer vinyl gives the rail a cushioning effect during normal dockside contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight-radius bends can be made with minimal heat, which helps when fitting curves at the bow and transom corners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with TACO Marine V12-0003 flexible vinyl insert and F90-0001 end caps for a complete rub rail installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses #10 countersunk flat head screws, which are sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rub rail is offered in multiple length configurations so the same profile can be matched to different boat sizes or repair needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe length changes between variants. The black flexible vinyl profile, insert compatibility, end cap compatibility, and screw type remain consistent across these listed configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV11-2423BKA50-1, Length 50'.

This length gives more material for larger hulls or installations that need a longer continuous run with fewer breaks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, compare the 1-7\/8 in. x 1-1\/8 in. profile against the existing rub rail footprint on the boat. Check the height, projection, insert style, and screw line so the new rail covers the old mounting marks and follows the hull-to-deck joint correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matching insert is TACO Marine V12-0003 and the matching end cap is F90-0001. Those parts matter when the installation needs a finished appearance at the rail ends or when the existing insert is cracked, faded, or missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry-fit the rail before fastening, especially around tight curves and corners. Minimal heat can help the vinyl take tighter bends, but the rail should be worked gradually so the profile stays even and the insert channel remains clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse #10 countersunk flat head screws and follow a consistent fastening pattern along the rail. On older boats, inspect the original screw holes and substrate before installation, since loose fasteners, wet core material, or damaged laminate should be corrected before the new rub rail is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rub rail is useful for refresh projects where the existing rail is sun-faded, split, flattened from dock contact, or no longer holds the insert securely. It also fits full refit work where the boat needs a clean black perimeter rail after hull repairs, paint work, or gelcoat restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fishing boats, family runabouts, and coastal cruisers that spend time against floating docks, pilings, or rafted-up boats, the flexible vinyl profile adds a practical layer of protection without changing the basic layout of the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWash the rail with fresh water and mild boat soap after saltwater use. Avoid harsh solvents that can attack vinyl or leave the surface looking uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring seasonal service, check the insert, end caps, and fasteners. A tight rail with a seated insert protects the edge of the boat more effectively and keeps the installation looking clean over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"50'","offer_id":52581988073653,"sku":"QBP234773-V1","price":480.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"70'","offer_id":52581988106421,"sku":"QBP234773-V2","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335654_qbp234773.jpg?v=1780202125","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp234773","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
