Boat Rub Rails, Inserts & Kits

Count on boat rub rails from Boat & RV Accessories to keep your hull protected from damage while docking or maneuvering.

A boat rub rail is an overlooked, underappreciated part of your boat - until you start docking. Bigger wrecks are terrifying enough, but when a simple nudge makes a loud, thundering sound, it reminds you exactly how damaging such a simple collision can be. Every boat owner has a rubber boat rail to thank for keeping their watercraft in good condition.

Save on our boat rub rails, marine rub rail inserts and all-in-one rub rail kits from Boat & RV Accessories. Rub rails create a barrier to stop pilings, tall docks, seawalls and other obstructions from rubbing against your boat. They also protect the gear used to secure marine cargo on your boat.

We carry aluminum, rigid vinyl, semi-rigid vinyl and stainless-steel rub rails for boats. We recommend that you add at least 10 extra feet to the rub rail length you order, which will allow for any installation errors.

Taco Marine V12-4144BKA50-1 flexible vinyl insert, which is designed for use with flexible rub rails, is a soft PVC insert designed to protect against harmful impact between your boat and unwelcome obstacles. We have solid aluminum rub rail by Taco Marine that is designed for use without an insert. This rub rail has anodized aluminum edge molding and seam binders.

Among our rub rail kits is the Suproflex rub rail kit by Taco Metal Inc. This rub rail can mold to most boat hull shapes. The Suproflex marine rub rail kit rail is lighter in weight than traditional vinyl rub rail, and it's co-extruded to offer two levels of hardness. The hard backing and softer front shock-absorbing channels translate into improved impact resistance.
