Common Concerns Answered
Will this insert fit my existing rub rail?
This TACO Marine rub rail insert is specifically designed for rub rail extrusions requiring a 1-3/16" height and 1/2" width profile. Compatibility with non-standard or older rub rail designs may vary, so precise measurement of your existing extrusion is critical before purchase.
What if this insert doesn't fit or I change my mind?
Due to the specialized nature of rub rail inserts, this product is typically not returnable to the point of purchase. If you encounter issues with fitment or product defects, direct contact with TACO Marine for warranty claims or return authorization is required.
