Taylor Made Products Boat Cover Support Pole Base Pad, Grey, Fits 7/8 Inch Diameter Poles, Compatible with 11991 & 11992

This Taylor Made Products base pad replaces the traditional crutch tip on a boat cover support pole, giving the pole a stable, non-slip foundation on deck. It is built for use with any 7/8 inch diameter support pole and swaps on in place of the pole's existing bottom tip. The pad is molded from EPDM, a rubber compound chosen for the added friction it provides against the deck surface, which helps keep the pole from sliding or walking out of position while the cover is up. Because EPDM distributes pressure evenly across the pad rather than concentrating it at a single point the way a crutch tip does, it reduces the risk of the pole denting or marking the deck under load.

A built-in swivel head lets the pole pivot and settle at the angle needed to properly tension the cover, rather than forcing the pole to sit perfectly vertical. Installation is simple: remove the bottom tip currently on the support pole and insert the pole into the base pad's adapter to secure it. The pad is finished in grey to blend with most deck and cover colors. The support pole itself is sold separately; this listing is for the base pad only. The pad is compatible with Taylor Made Products support poles 11991 and 11992.
