Stainless Steel rub Rails

[Chappelear2020]

I have to replace some of the rub rails because they got damaged hitting a piling. They are 1" wide and vary in length.

I found my own answer. Taco Marine has them...12' long or 16' long. Polished Stainless Steel. Can buy at West marine or Taco Marine Direct.

Part Number: S11-4650P12. 12'. material: 304
Part Number: S11-4650P16B. 16' material 316

Require #10 screws.

If i could I would replace them with 6" thick rubber lol.

I agree the maintenance is difficult with the teak

Horrible idea with SS rub rails : Go up to a concrete dock, or a concrete piling and your shiny SS rub rails will be scratched up and looking sh!tty.
Or rub against another boat’s gelcoat, it will get expensive as opposed to doing the same with a rubber RR.
On wooden piles the SS rub rails will be ok.

I love the big rubber rails on the -28TE, no more SS.
(Had them on previous boat, looks flashy but not practical)

The rubber ones are a good idea....but....my boat is very traditional and we have an old world look so we
like to traditional look.
