TACO Marine Gunnel-Mount Striker Base for 1-1/8 Inch Outriggers, F16-0212-F, Stainless Steel Pair
The TACO Marine F16-0212-F Gunnel-Mount Striker Base is a stainless steel outrigger mounting system built for anglers who want to run outriggers without a T-top. Instead of overhead rigging, this system mounts directly to the boat's gunnel, giving offshore trollers a simple, adjustable way to spread lines from the safety and easy reach of the gunnel rather than climbing to a hardtop. It is designed for 1-1/8 inch diameter outrigger poles and carries a 45-degree arm that is ambidextrous, so the same base works on either side of the boat.
Construction is polished Type-316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a saltwater environment, with a silver polished finish that keeps a clean, low-profile look on the gunnel. The mounting footprint is compact, keeping visual impact and installation expense to a minimum compared to a full T-top outrigger setup. Note that the arm does not lock into the mount, so it is intended for use at trolling speeds only; outriggers should be returned to the vertical position before running at speed.
This listing is for the Gunnel-Mount Striker Base sold as a pair, so both port and starboard mounting positions are covered in a single purchase. TACO Marine backs the base with a three-year limited warranty.
