Taylor Made Products Flag Pole Socket, Rail Mount, T304 Stainless Steel, Fits 7/8 Inch to 1 Inch Rails

This Taylor Made Products flag pole socket is a rail-mount fitting that lets you fly a flag from your boat's rail rather than a deck-mounted base. It clamps securely to round rails measuring 7/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter and holds a 1 inch diameter flag staff, mounting perpendicular to the rail so the pole stands out from the boat. The socket is machined from T304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a marine environment and is made in the USA. Installation is straightforward: the mount fastens directly to the rail with no drilling into the boat's deck or hull required, making it a simple add-on for boats that already have rail tubing in the right diameter range. Once mounted, the socket holds the flag staff at a fixed angle for a clean, secure look while underway or at anchor. This is sold as a single flag pole socket (one unit), so boaters mounting flags on both port and starboard rails, or wanting a spare, should order accordingly.
