Tessilmare Radial Flexible Rub Rail Kits

The rub rail is very very nice and appears to be very durable. My only complaint is that it was not as easy to install as the video showed. We did have to heat it up to flow properly and the corners did not come out as nice as the video showed.

I HAVE TO SAY WHEN I RECEIVED MY PACKAGE AND OPENED IT I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED . BUT WHEN I INSTALLED THE BASE PIECE AND THEN THE OUTSIDE RAIL TRIM I WAS SHOCKED AND COULDN'T BELIEVE THE QUALITY AND THE WAY IT LOOKS !!! AND NOT TO MENTION THE PRICE WAS VERY FAIR TO PUT A RUB RAIL ON MY TWENTY ONE FOOT BOAT . I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE , THANK YOU JOE T

Worked out great! Need 2 sets of hands to install

I installed the rub rail system on my Whaler and it went on as advertise! The issue - the end caps provided are useless! To complete the project it is advised I purchase stainless end caps for an additional $60.00 plus shipping. Now this system is not such a great value!!!

GREAT PRODUCT, WOULD BUY AGAIN.. Video was really heplful.

Rubrail is easy to install, looks great, and doezthe job. Good product

Worked out good n was easier to install than I anticipated

Very good prduct and easier than i thought to assemble.

I purchased the 1.25"" kit in black for my 1971 Boston Whaler Restore. I completed the project today and was so pleased I felt it was my duty to leave a few words here for the next guy/gal that may be considering this product. Installation was very easy. IBut there are a few trick I'd recommend. I would highly recommend purchasing a countersink that matches the #8 head of the stainless hardware used for the install. It's suggested of course, but with the right tool it not only countersinks the head but it also drills the pilot hole. The marine grade stainless is available via JD. I used the 1"" length as it left no doubt. However, I know understand that a shorter screw would have worked just fine because of the countersinking. Final tip: the stuff is hard to work with when it's cold, so I tacked it up in about every 3rd screw location and then came back to finalize. Take some time and review the directions. I setup a test install on a 2x4 board prior to going to town on my freshly reworked gel coat. It made me feel good before drilling holes. I suggest it. It will ease your mind and make you feel confident. I also set each screw in with 3M 5200 to avoid any water penetration. The rubber rolls onto the rail very easily. Don't worry about that part at all.You pend it sharply near where you are putting it on and just keep bending and pushing as you go. I rolled mine out, about 30', in 3 minutes. Good luck!

the inner part could not be used on an extended seam hull. the material will not bond at all with silicon seal or and other simple adhesive which is required to hold on to extended seam situations. if you get cornered into that situation you will have to apply tension to avoid really apparent sagging, and work the silicon seal into the channel. all and all i am not really happy about it but it does the job and looks nice. for 70 ft you need 14 tubes of silicon. use the cheap spooge tubes from dollar general, no sense splurging at war mart.and it took two rolls of blue masking tape. additionally James town charged me twice for the shipping to the total of $328 so for a boat worth $4K i spent 828 on rub rail. it is what it is and after screwing around with it for ever i am pleased with the appearance and it is a hearty solution to aging boats., a product you have to earn the results for.
