The mount uses a locking head with spline lock technology for outrigger height positioning, and the outward rotation handle has detents every 22.5 degrees to help keep the arm locked in place while trolling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup is suited to mid-size offshore fishing boats and is commonly used on boats in the 20 to 36 foot range. It fits hardtop and soft top applications, works with hardtops up to 2-1\/2 inches thick, and uses a top-mounted base with a 4 inch by 6 inch footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast Type 316L stainless steel and machined aluminum construction give the mount the corrosion resistance needed for saltwater use. The pair format keeps the port and starboard outrigger installation matched, which matters for spread control and a clean installation on center consoles and walkarounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a pair for a matched port and starboard outrigger installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for 1-1\/2 inch TACO Tele-Outrigger poles, with 1-1\/8 inch pole use supported when paired with the GSC-0025 base reducer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking head uses spline lock technology to hold outrigger height position with fewer moving parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutward rotation handle includes detents every 22.5 degrees to reduce arm movement while fishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180 degree arm swing allows horizontal rotation from underneath the T-top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits hardtops up to 2-1\/2 inches thick and suits hardtop or soft top applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-mounted 4 inch by 6 inch base fits the TACO Outrigger-Ready mounting plate layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast stainless-steel Type 316L and machined aluminum construction for saltwater deck and top installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GS-280 is intended for top mounting, so the mounting surface should be checked for thickness, backing support, and access before drilling. On a T-top or hardtop, the handle can be operated from below the top, which keeps outrigger adjustment within reach at the helm or cockpit area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause outrigger mounts carry leverage loads from long poles and rigging, the top structure and backing plate arrangement matter as much as the mount itself. This mount matches the TACO Outrigger-Ready mounting plate pattern and is also commonly paired with TACO backing and wedge plate accessories when the installation needs extra support or a corrected mounting angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and use on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is a strong match for center-console and offshore fishing boats that run a traditional outrigger spread for trolling. It is most relevant for anglers using 1-1\/2 inch outrigger poles who want controlled deployment, repeatable arm positions, and under-top handle access without moving around the deck in rough water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor boats using 1-1\/8 inch outrigger poles, the GSC-0025 base reducer is required. Pole length, top strength, backing support, and the layout of antennas, lights, rocket launchers, and hardtop rails should be checked before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and marine environment\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stainless-steel Type 316L and machined aluminum construction is appropriate for saltwater exposure, spray, and regular washdowns. The handle combines polished stainless steel with a non-slip Santoprene grip, giving the operator a secure feel when adjusting the outriggers with wet hands or while the boat is moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePair of TACO Marine GS-280 Grand Slam 280 outrigger top mounts.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023132291253,"sku":"QBP353817","price":2553.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331241_qbp353817.jpg?v=1780191764","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp353817","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
