Tessilmare Radial Flexible Rub Rail Kits

FOR THE MONEY THEY CHARGE FOR PRESSED PLASTIC, THEY SHOULD THROW IN SOME POLISHED PRESSED STAINLESS END CAPS. THEY WOULD COST THE MFGR ABOUT 5 BUCKS. IT'S A PRETTY FAIR DEAL FOR THE MONEY, BUT IT NEEDS STAINLESS END CAPS.

Shipped as a heavy roll of material. Arrived with shipping container dammaged and small parts missing. Need to pack in heavier container.

Do not pay someone to install this for you. My husband and I installed it in 2 1/2 hours without any problems. I suggest using screws and lock nuts, not rivets. What a great upgrade to our boat, looks awesome!

Easiest to install but because of the design, it's also very easy to pull apart and damage. Especially on a small boat that bobs around at the dock. Any vertical swipe will pull the soft bumper off the semi-rigid frame. Good news is, it's really easy to put back on. Takes direct horizontal bumps without a problem.

Took under two hours to install, looks professional

Used on small 13' 1966 Boston Whaler. Drill pilot hole in track only to get better screw bite into the boat. Countersink track so the screw head sits flush with the track. This will eliminate screw bumps in the rub rail. I spaced my screws 6"" apart using about 90 #8 x 3/4"" SS screws. Use very low heat from a hairdryer to relieve track tension around corners, too much heat will ruin the track. One person install took about 2 hrs.

I installed a Taco rub rail the first time I replaced my rub rail. That one lasted about 5 years. It never really looked that good, not even from the start. It served the purpose. I thought this season I would spiff up the boat and I opted for including a new rub rail. I did some online research and came across this Tessilmare. I viewed as many you tube videos I could and read all the reviews. I can't say enough about this product. Installed easily, by myself! Yes a heat gun is a good idea for the bow and transom bends. Use the gun and get professional results. Best 200 bucks I have spent on the boat in a long time!

I have a home-made boat with oak rails and wanted something ""trimmy"" to protect them at the docks. This product looks like it was designed for my boat, the rubber sits flush with the rail and makes for a very clean appearance. It protects as you would expect. Very easy installation and made the bow turn without a wrinkle. I sawed the guides into smaller pieces to make curves, as the rubber is many times more flexible than the guides. It comes with a picture to guide installation which is all you need. The guides go on with simple screws and I put some non-adhesive calk on for good measure. I didn't bother with the cheap end caps, as it looks fine without them. Rubber cuts to length with a knife cleanly.

It's a two person job and some heating may be required on very acute angles, with some planning you'll end up with a professional looking finish.

needed a little heat to make tight radius, but overall the best product for the application I found.

this product is so easy to used you can install it by youself and time saving compared to regular rub rails

My boat was tore up last year in Joplin,Mo. tornado.Couldn't decide to buy a new boat or refinish this one.Went the cheaper route and decided to refinish this one.This rub rail is like putting trim board in your house,it is the finishing touch.It is perfect and have more people comment on it than anything else.Perfect product and have no complaints whatsoever.Thank you for the finishing touch.

Great easy to use product just wish it had not taken April to get here

excellent product. does job and looks great. However some rails were damaged during shipping.Recommend better packaging. End caps and joiner do not fit well and are of inferior quality.

The kit would be even better if it came complete with all the hardware. The endcaps are cheap and NOT of the same quality as the rest of the kit

We recently installed the flexible rub rail kit on our houseboat. It was very easy to install and very flexible. It really made a big difference in the way the boat looks.

very easy to install and looks great on my boat. This cold way of mounting is the best!! I mounted another replacement rub rail on an old boat a few years ago and that was a seriously difficult job, rail had to be heated, was difficult to bend and some imperfections remained... I can truely recommend this Tessilmare product to all of you.

It's incredible, your fitting time is the half, have a nice look, I know this product for 3 years, in Europe is the most used.
