Rub Rail end caps

192 · Mar 6, 2012

Made some stainless rub rail end caps today... the old ones were looking tired. I still need to polish them.

Nice job , I have looked all over the web to find new ones for my boat and cant find anywhere .

Those look great. Take a pic when they are installed.

thanks, here is a test fit... need to remove the old sealant and reseal it. Decided not to fully polish and went with a fine brushed look.

HEY THOSE LOOK JUST LIKE WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

...HOW MUCH FOR A SET ??? THANKS KEITH

192 · Apr 23, 2012

here they are installed... I'm no pro so they don't look as good as they could.

They look fine to me! nice work!

It would be great if you could hide the screws... somehow

Lainie J · Apr 24, 2012

They look great, you want to make a couple for my Marlin?

Tucker · Apr 25, 2012

I think they look great! Yea, the stockers are available. I got a set from Taylor Marine last year.

DRoss203 · Apr 25, 2012

Seriously, if you are going to make a few more, I'll buy some. Please let me know.

Dear 192... you just got yourself a new job: Official Rub Rail end cap provider... to us all! :mrgreen:

hehe just kidding, geat job mate!

PS> I just replaced mine laste year with plastic ones, otherwise, I'd want some too! Wait, how much are they?

192 · Apr 25, 2012

Please PM me... I wasn't planing on making more but if your interested send me a message. Stainless steel isn't an easy metal to work with and these may look easy to make and in theory they are but take time to get right.

DRoss203 · Apr 26, 2012

PM sent. I am very interested, I thinnk the stainless looks much better than the blue plastic.

192 · Apr 26, 2012

Ok I have thought about it more and I think I should just make 10 or 20 sets. I'm thinking $75 a set. They will be an exact match, even better then the ones I made.

I'm pretty sure all the older Grady's have the same rub rail. I know the newer ones with the stainless rails there a little bit different, and already have a stainless end cap.

The plastic ones are $30 a set I think.

Reactions....?

Tucker · Apr 27, 2012

Are they 316 stainless? That's $75 installed right?? :mrgreen:

192 · Apr 27, 2012

yes 316 SS...

I need to hear from you all, if 5 or more want them I will make them. also I think the bigger boats have larger rub rails... I'm not 100'% but if that's the case then I would need someones end caps to make duplicates.

Hi,

Do you have any of these end caps available? If so, I'd be interested in buying a set.

Thanks.

Dave

Tucker · Apr 13, 2016

I need a set. There are stainless caps on ebay that look like ours not sure if it's the same guy. I haven't compared measurements yet. I couldn't find any from Taylor Marine.

I also need a set for my '99 Marlin. My end caps are almost completely disintegrated. Anyone have any updates on this?
