Taylor Made Products Stainless Steel Rail Mount Flag Pole Socket #961, Fits 7/8 to 1-1/4 Inch Round Rails

The Taylor Made Products #961 Rail Mount Flag Pole Socket is a T304 stainless steel fitting that lets you fly a flag from your boat's rail instead of drilling a dedicated mounting hole. It clamps securely to round rails and holds a 1 inch diameter flag pole perpendicular to the rail, so the flag stands upright and clear of the rail itself. The socket adjusts to any angle, making it easy to position the flag pole exactly where you want it regardless of how the rail is oriented.

Construction is T304 stainless steel throughout for corrosion resistance in a saltwater or freshwater marine environment, and the fitting is triple chrome plated with both 3/4 inch and 1 inch inside diameters to accept different pole shaft sizes. It is designed to securely fasten to either 7/8 inch to 1 inch rails or 1-1/8 inch to 1-1/4 inch rails, covering the two most common round rail sizes found on boats. The socket comes complete with split rings for mounting and is intended for round rails only.
