{"product_id":"qbp235544","title":"TACO Marine Striker Base Gunnel Mount Pair, For 1-1\/2 in Outrigger Poles, 316 Stainless Steel, 12 Locking Positions","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TACO Marine F16-0150-F is a pair of Striker Base gunnel mounts for 1-1\/2\" outrigger poles, built for anglers who want to run outriggers from the gunnel instead of a T-top. Each mount uses a 45° arm and a polished Type 316L stainless steel base, giving the setup the corrosion resistance and clean deck appearance expected on saltwater fishing boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount set gives offshore and coastal trolling crews a practical way to position outriggers from an easy-to-reach location along the gunwale. The hex nut locking system gives 12 positions, including stand-up and lay-down positions, so the poles can be set for fishing and then moved out of the way when the deck needs to stay clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base measures 5-3\/4\" long by 3-7\/8\" wide and installs through the gunnel with a 2\" hole saw. It is sold as a pair and is meant for use at trolling speeds only; the outrigger poles should be vertical when the boat is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1-1\/2\" outrigger poles for gunnel-mounted trolling setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in pairs for port and starboard installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished Type 316L stainless steel construction helps resist corrosion in saltwater use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45° ambidextrous arms work on either port or starboard bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHex nut locking system gives 12 positions, including stand-up and lay-down positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable arms help keep the deck more open when the outriggers are not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded locking adapter adds strength at the arm connection point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Lee, Perko, and Rupp outrigger poles when the pole size matches the 1-1\/2\" mount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor trolling-speed use only; the arm does not lock into the mount for running-speed operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is installed through the gunnel, so the mounting surface needs enough structure to support outrigger loads while trolling. The lower base tube sits at a 45° angle, and the elliptical opening should be cut at 45° to the mounting surface. For this part number, the installation uses a 2\" hole saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA marine sealant should be used between the base and mounting surface to help protect the deck core and reduce water intrusion. Through-bolting is preferred when the gunnel layout allows it, and backing plates are recommended for mounting surfaces that are 3\/4\" thick or less. Mounting hardware is not included, so bolt length should be selected to match the actual gunnel thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is a practical match for fishing boats that need outrigger coverage without adding or modifying a T-top. The gunnel location keeps the controls within reach, which is useful when setting a spread, clearing lines, or moving between cockpit tasks during a trolling run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the arms can be removed, the mounts are also useful on boats where cockpit space matters between fishing days. Once the arms are off, the deck area stays less cluttered for dockside work, cleaning, or general family use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter saltwater use, rinse the mounts with fresh water and clean them with mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid bleach, acids, strong degreasers, rubbing compounds, and abrasive cleaners, since those can damage the finish and shorten the life of the stainless surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Striker Base gunnel mount bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 removable arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation template\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023131701429,"sku":"QBP235544","price":802.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331192_qbp235544.jpg?v=1780191757","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp235544","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
