TACO Marine GS-280 Grand Slam 280 Outrigger Top Mount, Sold in Pairs, Fits 1-1/2 Inch Tele-Outrigger Poles

The TACO Marine GS-280 Grand Slam 280 Outrigger Top Mount is a top-mounted outrigger base built for anglers who run telescoping outrigger poles from a hardtop or T-top. Sold in pairs, the GS-280 gives you a matched port and starboard set from a single purchase, so both sides of the boat are covered with the same mount. Construction combines cast stainless-steel and machined aluminum components for a base that stands up to saltwater exposure and the repeated leverage of outrigger poles under trolling load. The mount features a strong, locking head design that allows the pole to be positioned and held firmly in place, along with horizontal rotation so the outrigger can be swung out from under the T-top when deploying and stowed back in when not in use.

The GS-280 is built to work with 1-1/2 inch Tele-Outrigger poles. It also accepts 1-1/8 inch Tele-Outrigger poles when a GSC-0025 Base Reducer is added, giving boat owners flexibility if they are running a smaller-diameter pole. The GS-280 mount is also available as part of outrigger mounting kits alongside the GS-170 mount. This is a top-mount style base, finished in silver, and is intended for anglers upgrading or replacing outrigger hardware on center consoles and other T-top-equipped boats.
