TACO Marine Step-by-Step Instructions for How To Install SuproFlex Rub Rail 

Hi Noah. We are glad it helped!

Thank you for watching!

Hi Frank. We are happy you found the video helpful!

Glad we could help you!

Hi Richard. For water prevention, all you really need is to run a bead of marine-grade silicone down the center where the screws go underneath the rub rail, or you can apply to the top and bottom of the rub rail after the install is complete. On this boat, after the wrap was installed, the silicone was applied to the top and bottom. SuproFlex also comes pre-drilled, so you don't need to pre-drill any holes on the ground prior to install. For installing the Rub Rail, we don't have a service from TACO, but most boat yards, marine service centers or dealers could probably help you with it. If you do it yourself, we have a Tech Support team that can provide guidance, if you have any questions. You can contact them here: tacomarine.com/technical-support

Thanks, Anthony! For water prevention, all you really need is to run a bead of marine-grade silicone down the center where the screws go underneath the rub rail, or you can apply to the top and bottom of the rub rail after the install is complete. It's really a personal preference. On this boat, after the wrap was installed, the silicone was applied to the top and bottom. Please let us know if you have any other questions! #TrollTheEdge

Thanks for your question. Traditionally with SuproFlex, the wider side with the leg is on the bottom. Check out our website page here to see the profile image in our recommended orientation. tacomarine.com/suproflex-rub-rail

Hi Brian. Thank you for your question. Generally, a 3/16”-1/8” bit will be appropriate. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

Hi Paul. Thanks for your question. We always recommend using a quality marine-grade silicone, such as 3M. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Walt. Yes, the leg of the Rub Rail tends to go on the bottom. SuproFlex should definitely be able to bend around the tight corner. If you're in an area with warmer weather this time of year, you could even set the Rub Rail out in the sun to heat up for added flexibility, or, if needed, use a heat gun on the corner to slowly heat the Rub Rail. We have builders who use SuproFlex on sharp corners and 90º S curves, so it is definitely possible. When in doubt, you could also contact our Tech Support team at this link: tacomarine.com/technical-support and they would be very happy to help out via phone or e-mail with additional questions and concerns. For the month of December, we are running a 15% off promo with code HOLIDAY15 at tacomarine.com/buytacodirect. We sell SuproFlex Kits and also SuproFlex in long lengths.

Hi Bill. Yes, we recommend 4200 as well. 5200 is doable, but that is more permanent and would be difficult to remove. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi B Cain. Please reach out to Mark at mhenderson@tacometals.com so you can share photos and we can get you the correct product needed. Depending on your boat, SuproFlex may be the right product. Either way, we are sure we'll have a Rub Rail that works for you. ~ Team TACO

Hi Travis. Thanks for reaching out. Yes, screws come with the SuproFlex Rub Rail Kit, as well as End Caps. For water prevention, all you really need is to run a bead of marine-grade silicone down the center where the screws go underneath the rub rail, or you can apply to the top and bottom of the rub rail after the install is complete. It's really a personal preference. On this boat, after the wrap was installed, the silicone was applied to the top and bottom of the Rub Rail. It sounds like you have very specific technical questions about SuproFlex, and it would be good for us to get more specific details about your inquiries.

@@TACOMarine will the trim fit in existing rail on boat?

@@traviswagner9822 we can't say without seeing photos of the existing rail and knowing the dimensions and material. If you could, please contact our Technical Support team and they will be able to help answer your questions. Please fill out this form: tacomarine.com/technical-support

@@TACOMarine inquiry sent. Just have them send me an email and I will send photo of existing rail.

@@traviswagner9822 Great! Thanks, Travis!

Hi Porschmn, I am sorry you did not receive enough screws. We found out that some kits were missing enough screws after we changed the pre-drilled holes from 8" down to 4". It increased the number of holes. Please contact our warranty team via the form linked below, they can send you the hardware you need to complete your install. We apologize for this inconvenience! tacomarine.com/warranty-claim-form

Thanks for this great tip, Andre!

Hi Matt, We would love to help you with this. Can you please take a photo of your rub rail and send it to info@tacomarine.com?
