Overview
The TACO Marine V21-9906BKA60D-1 is a black Rigid Vinyl Flex-Core rub rail for replacing or upgrading the protective rail around a boat’s gunwale. It is supplied in a 60 ft continuous coil with a 2 in. height profile, helping reduce visible joints around the hull while giving the boat a clean finished edge.
This rub rail uses a solid rigid PVC cap stock over a lightweight high-density inner core. That construction helps with handling during installation, supports cold forming around typical hull contours, and adds shock-absorbent impact resistance where the rail takes contact from docks, pilings, trailers, and routine marina use.
The rail is drilled and countersunk for #8 screws on 8 in. centers. It requires the S11-4511 insert to complete the installation, so that insert should be accounted for when planning a replacement job or matching an existing TACO rub rail setup.
Key features
- 60 ft continuous black coil helps avoid butt joints around the gunwale for a cleaner finished installation.
- Rigid PVC cap stock gives the rail its exterior surface and impact properties for day-to-day contact points on the hull.
- Lightweight high-density core makes the long section easier to handle while adding shock-absorbent impact resistance.
- Cold-forming capability helps the rail follow common boat contours during fitting.
- Vacuum-calibrated profile supports tighter dimensional consistency for a more uniform fit along the hull side.
- Pre-drilled and countersunk for #8 screws on 8 in. centers to simplify fastening layout.
- Requires TACO S11-4511 insert for the finished rub rail assembly.
- Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Installation and fit
This rub rail is suited for boat owners, yards, and riggers replacing a worn rail or refreshing the hull edge during refit work. The continuous coil format is helpful on longer gunwale runs because it reduces the number of breaks that need to be aligned and finished.
Before installation, compare the existing rail height, insert style, screw pattern, and hull curvature with the replacement profile. The pre-drilled 8 in. screw spacing helps keep the fastening pattern consistent, but the underlying hull flange or backing should be checked so the screws have solid material to bite into.
Use on board
A rub rail is one of the first parts of the boat to take everyday abuse from dock lines, fenders, pilings, raft-ups, and trailer handling. This profile is a practical match for powerboats that need a black rigid vinyl rail with a cleaner one-piece look and enough flexibility to follow normal hull shapes during installation.
For the best finished result, pair the rail with the required S11-4511 insert and confirm end caps or related finishing hardware separately if the job calls for them.
