TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail Insert – 50 ft., Black (V120342BKA501)

The Finishing Touch That Protects and Polishes Your Rub Rail.

A rub rail without an insert leaves fastener heads exposed and misses the cushioning layer that actually absorbs contact with docks and pilings. This TACO Marine Flexible Vinyl Rub Rail Insert snaps into compatible rub rail moulding to cover fasteners cleanly and add a soft, compressible buffer between your hull and whatever it bumps against — protecting both your boat and the dock.

At 50 feet, this coil covers most single-vessel applications and can be cut to exact length dockside. The flexible vinyl construction allows it to follow curves around the bow and transom without kinking or cracking, and the black finish provides a clean, classic contrast against white or dark hull colours.

Key Features

• Flexible vinyl construction — bends smoothly around bow curves and transom corners
• Covers fastener heads — clean finished appearance with no exposed hardware
• Cushions contact with docks, pilings, and other vessels
• 50 ft. coil — enough for most single-boat rub rail runs; cut to length as needed
• Black finish — classic contrast for white or dark hulls
• 5-year warranty
• Part Number: V120342BKA501 | SKU: 236-V120342BKA501

Best Use Cases

• Replacing a worn or missing insert — the most common use; inserts take the brunt of dock contact and wear faster than the rail itself
• Completing a new rub rail installation — pair with compatible TACO rigid or flexible rub rail moulding for a finished, professional result
• Upgrading an insert-free rail — if your existing rub rail was installed without an insert, this snaps in to add cushioning and cover any exposed fasteners
• Seasonal refresh — swap a faded or cracked insert without replacing the entire rail

Parts Desk Insights

• Best for: Replacing worn inserts on existing TACO rub rail moulding, or completing a new rail installation — the insert is what takes the daily abuse so the rail itself lasts longer
• Fitment note: Verify your existing rub rail profile accepts this insert size before ordering — TACO makes multiple insert widths; check your rail model number against the V120342 spec
• Installation tip: Warm the insert slightly with a heat gun on low to improve flexibility when working around tight bow curves in cold weather
• Length planning: Measure your full rub rail run (both sides) before cutting — 50 ft. typically covers one side of a 20–25 ft. boat; order two coils for a full port-and-starboard installation
• Warranty: Backed by TACO Marine’s 5-year warranty — one of the strongest in the category
