Description
Durability and cushion come together in this popular, universally designed Semi-Rigid Rub Rail Kit, an ideal and cost-effective upgrade for your boat. The semi-rigid profile features a subtly curved back designed to hug your boat’s hull joint shape with a gentle sloping front and 90-degree bottom leg. It pairs exclusively with a flexible vinyl insert for enhanced cushion and a built-in channel for greater impact absorption. This profile and insert combo is used by several popular boat brands, including Triton Boats, Edgewater Boats, Tige Boats, and SeaHunter. Available in 50’ lengths, this kit includes a seamless coil of semi-rigid rub rail, a flexible vinyl overlay insert, stainless steel screws, and a pair of black nylon end caps. This replacement kit is perfect for smaller center consoles, bay boats, and skiffs.
What are the Benefits of this Semi-Rigid Vinyl Rub Rail Kit
The overlay design of the flexible vinyl insert, which features a center channel, makes this rub rail replacement kit a fantastic solution for boats that need extra impact defense. The harder durometer semi-rigid back provides the toughness and protection of rigid vinyl without the cost, while the soft durometer vinyl overlay insert delivers enhanced cushion.
The semi-rigid nature of this profile enables it to retain flexible vinyl properties for installation, such as making it easier to bend and requiring less heat. Unlike rigid vinyl or stainless steel, this semi-rigid profile does not require expensive pre-forming to mold to your hull’s shape, saving you money and time. The cushiony, flexible vinyl overlay insert hides all the fasteners and completes the installation with a clean, seamless finish.
Boat owners choose this semi-rigid kit over stainless steel because it will not rust or corrode, making it easy to clean and maintain with regular freshwater washdowns. Its snug fit helps prevent water and salt deposits from building up between your cap and hull joint. The 5-year manufacturer warranty is a testament to the quality you can expect from semi-rigid vinyl with a flexible vinyl overlay insert.
When to Replace Your Boat’s Rub Rail
Depending on the age and condition of your boat, you’ll know it’s time to replace your rub rail if you have any of these signs.
- Rust, corrosion, or dents in stainless steel rub rail
- Excessive fading, warping, or brittleness from prolonged sun exposure
- Sagging or pulling away from your boat’s hull
- Damaged or missing sections of the rub rail from anywhere around the boat
In general, it’s good to replace your boat’s rub rail if you notice any of these signs of excessive wear and tear. New semi-rigid vinyl rub rail not only looks fantastic, but helps better protect your boat, keeping you on the water longer doing what you love.
If you’re a DIY small boat owner looking to refresh your ride, this cost-effective semi-rigid replacement kit is a great solution, saving you money and time for more water-filled adventures.
