Built from T316 polished stainless steel, it resists corrosion from saltwater spray, UV exposure, and the general wear and tear of marine use, holding its polished finish season after season. The socket is set at a 10 degree angle so the flag pole sits at a natural, outward-leaning position rather than standing perfectly vertical, and its design allows the fitting to inset nearly flush to the deck for a clean, low-profile look when the pole is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis top mount socket installs directly to the gunwale, making it a straightforward way to add a dedicated flag pole mounting point to a boat without cutting into the hull or deck surface. It is intended for use with a 1 inch flag pole; boaters with a larger 1-1\/4 inch pole should look to the related Taylor Made socket sized for that diameter instead, as this is a distinct part for a specific pole size. Mounting hardware is not included, so fasteners suited to the mounting surface should be sourced separately at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e T316 polished stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Pole Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top mount, gunwale mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches L x 4 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011285454\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 1 inch diameter flag poles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size flag pole does the Taylor Made 965 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made 965 is sized for a 1 inch diameter flag pole. Boaters with a 1-1\/4 inch pole need the larger Taylor Made socket made for that diameter, since the 965 is a separate, differently sized part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs mounting hardware included with this flag pole socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Taylor Made 965 top mount flag pole socket does not include mounting hardware, so screws or fasteners suited to the gunwale surface need to be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 965 flag pole socket made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from T316 polished stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion in saltwater and harsh marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Taylor Made 965 installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e This socket is a top mount design that installs to the gunwale of the boat, allowing the flag pole to be inserted and removed as needed without a permanent fixed pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat angle does the flag pole sit at once mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 965 socket holds the flag pole at a 10 degree angle rather than straight up and down, giving the flag a natural outward lean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the socket sit flush with the deck when the pole is removed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Taylor Made 965 is designed so its inset sits nearly flush to the deck surface when no pole is in place, keeping a clean profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 965 flag pole socket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made 965 measures 6 inches by 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 965 flag pole socket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This flag pole socket weighs 0.44 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 965 socket rust over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is built from T316 polished stainless steel specifically to hold up against rust and corrosion from marine exposure, unlike coated or lower-grade steel fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Taylor Made 965 the same as the 966 or 967 sockets?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 965 is sized for a 1 inch pole at a 10 degree angle, while the 966 fits a 1-1\/4 inch pole at the same 10 degree angle and the 967 fits a 1-1\/4 inch pole at a 60 degree angle.
