Rubber grommets are one of the most universally used products in the world. There is probably a lot more of them in your surroundings, due to their versatility, durability, longevity, insulating properties and overall high-quality and universal applicability. In most instances, we’d use rubber grommets to protect the wiring and cabling from any abrasions, cuts or damages when we have to run them through a pipe or a sharp opening, but that is hardly the extent of their use.

For instance, one of the fields that have more use for grommets than you would assume is boating. Marine rubber grommets are the essential part of every water-operated vehicle and without them, most of those vehicles wouldn’t be able to run for a very long time. Unlike stainless steel grommets, marine rubber grommets aren’t used for sails or fabric. Instead, they’re used to insulate various opening and protect the electronic components and wiring throughout the boat from getting wet and damaged. Most high-quality marine rubber grommets have a prolonged usage time, so you won’t have to worry about replacing them every few months. Instead, they will last you years on end and you are almost guaranteed to be satisfied with them for a very long time.

Marine rubber grommets come in all shapes and sizes, which is what you would expect, considering that there are many different shapes and sizes of boats as well. Most common sizes range from 1 inch to 3 inches, but you could easily order a custom made one if you have the need for it. Most marine rubber grommet manufacturers work closely with their customers, as well as marine vehicle builders, so we should be more than familiar with your type of vehicle, which means we could offer sound advice if you don’t know which kind of rubber grommet you need.
