The flanged base provides a larger mounting surface than a standard end-cap rail, which adds stability while keeping the look clean since the design uses no visible mounting hardware. Two integral 5\/16 inch-18 x 1-5\/8 inch threaded studs are formed directly into the base, so installation is a matter of drilling through-holes, passing the studs through, and securing them from the underside with two 5\/16 inch-18 nuts (nuts not included). The rail measures 10 inches overall (dimension A) with an 8-3\/4 inch dimension B, a 2-1\/4 inch dimension C, and a 1-1\/2 inch dimension D, and the tube itself has a 7\/8 inch outer diameter for a comfortable, secure hand grip. At 0.44 pounds, it is light enough for easy handling during installation but retains the rigidity expected of formed stainless tubing. Because it is finished in stainless steel rather than a coated or painted finish, it resists saltwater corrosion and holds up to sun and spray exposure over time. This handrail is a direct fit replacement or upgrade wherever a 10 inch stud mount flanged handrail of this footprint is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e

with an 8-3\/4 inch dimension B, a 2-1\/4 inch dimension C, and a 1-1\/2 inch dimension D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is this handrail made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It

coated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this handrail mount to the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 254209-1 is a stud mount design with a flanged base and two integral 5\/16 inch-18 x 1-5\/8 inch threaded studs built into the rail, so there is no visible mounting hardware on top of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hardware do I need to install it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation requires two 5\/16 inch-18 nuts, which are not included with the 254209-1 handrail, to secure the integral threaded studs from the underside of the mounting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow thick is the grip tubing on this rail?\u003c\/strong\u003e The tube outer diameter on the Sea-Dog 254209-1 is 7\/8 inch, sized for a

uses integral threaded studs and nuts so no mounting hardware is visible on top, while a surface mount handrail (such as Sea-Dog's 254312 series) uses 5\/16 inch flathead fasteners driven through the base and has a 1 inch tube outer diameter rather than 7\/8 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this handrail come with mounting nuts included?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the two 5\/16 inch-18 nuts needed to secure the 254209-1 to its mounting studs are not included and must be sourced separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this handrail suitable for saltwater
