Taylor Made 45969 Commercial Side Guard 10 ft Silver
Taylor Made 45969 Commercial Side Guard 10 ft Silver — Product description
Taylor Made's Commercial Grade Side Guard is a 10-foot silver guard built to protect where boats and docks rub together. At 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-3/8 inches tall, it's the heavy-duty protection you want on a busy slip or a working boat.
Taylor Made's Commercial Grade Side Guard is the kind of protection you put right where boats and docks meet and rub. It's a 10-foot length of silver guard, 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-3/8 inches tall, built to take the daily beating a busy slip or a working boat dishes out.
Commercial grade means exactly that. This isn't the light-duty stuff you'd run along a backyard floating dock and hope for the best. It's made to hold up on commercial piers, marina fingers, and work boats where fenders alone don't cut it and the contact is constant. The silver finish keeps things looking clean against aluminum and fiberglass instead of transferring the black marks darker guards can leave behind.
Where do you use it? Anywhere a hull can catch an edge. Run it along a dock face so boats coming in hot don't gouge the gelcoat. Mount it on a piling corner. Line the rub area on a pontoon or a work skiff. At 10 feet you've got enough to cover a good stretch of dock face or a long section of hull, and if you need more, just add another length end to end.
One thing worth being straight about: this is the guard itself, a single 10-foot piece. Fasteners and adhesive aren't detailed in the pack here, so plan your mounting hardware to match the surface you're attaching to. If you're not sure what'll hold on your dock material, give us a call and we'll talk it through before you drill a single hole.
If you run a marina, a rental operation, or just a boat that spends its life against a wooden dock, this is cheap insurance against expensive gelcoat repair. One good bump saved pays for the guard several times over. Taylor Made has been building marine gear for decades, and their commercial line is what you buy when the residential stuff keeps wearing out on you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Taylor Made Commercial Grade Side Guard used for?
It protects surfaces where a boat and a dock rub against each other. Run it along a dock face, a piling corner, or the rub area on a pontoon or work boat to keep hulls and gelcoat from getting gouged.
What are the dimensions?
It's a 10-foot length, 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-3/8 inches tall, in silver. One continuous piece.
Is mounting hardware included?
The pack here doesn't detail fasteners or adhesive, so we'd treat mounting hardware as something you supply. Match it to the surface you're attaching to, wood, aluminum, or fiberglass. If you're not sure, give us a call.
What makes it commercial grade?
It's built heavier than the light-duty residential stuff, so it holds up under the constant contact you get on commercial piers, marina fingers, and working boats.
Will the silver color mark up my boat?
A lighter silver guard is less likely to leave the black transfer marks you get from darker rubber, which is one reason it reads clean against aluminum and fiberglass.
Can I use it on both a dock and a boat?
Yes. It's made for marine applications, so it works along dock edges and pilings or on a hull's rub area. Wherever the contact happens, that's where it goes.
