Taco Marine Grand Slam 170 Outrigger Top Mounts, 1-1/8 Inch Diameter, Pair

The Taco Marine Grand Slam 170 Outrigger Top Mounts (GS-170) are a pair of stainless steel top mounts built to secure and adjust standard 1-1/8 inch butt OD outriggers on boats up to 24 feet. At the heart of the design is Taco's Spline Lock Technology (U.S. Patent 8,186,095), an engineered mechanism that provides multiple adjustment positions while preventing slippage, holding the outrigger firmly at the desired height and laydown position. A Twist-n-Lock rotator collar locks into 12 distinct fishing positions with a simple quarter turn, and internal Delrin bearings keep every adjustment smooth while resisting movement once locked in place.

Each mount uses a rugged, sure-grip knob to adjust and lock the height and laydown angle, which is useful for safe trailering and clearing bridges without disassembling the rigging. The stainless steel arm and locking feature keep the outrigger securely positioned during trolling and deployment, and the corrosion-resistant stainless construction is built for saltwater and freshwater marine environments. The GS-170 is designed for standard 1-1/8 inch butt OD outriggers and is sold as a pair; a single top mount is available separately under a different part number for anglers who only need to replace one side.
