Overview
The TACO Marine L10-2005BSA-1 is a Neptune III leaning post for center console boats 25 feet and under, fitted with four white poly tulip rod holders, a folding footrest, and under-seat space sized for a 72-quart cooler. Its footprint is 15-3/8 inches by 35-1/2 inches, with listed dimensions of 32 inches deep, 35-1/2 inches wide, and 23 inches high.
This leaning post gives the helm a steady place to stand, lean, and manage rods without taking up the space of a larger seat module. It works well on smaller fishing boats where cockpit room matters, especially when rods, tackle, and a cooler need to stay close to the console.
The frame uses one-piece welded aluminum construction with an anodized finish for marine use, and the smooth marine-grade vinyl fabric resists mildew, fungus, and UV exposure. The rod holders sit at a 15 degree angle, keeping rods organized and ready while leaving the helm area clean.
Key features
- Made for center console boats 25 feet and under where deck space around the helm is limited.
- Four white poly tulip rod holders keep multiple rods within reach during fishing runs.
- Rod holders are set at a 15 degree angle for practical storage behind the helm.
- One-piece welded aluminum frame construction adds strength without a bulky seat base.
- Anodized aluminum finish helps the frame stand up to saltwater use and regular washdowns.
- Folding footrest gives the operator a more comfortable stance during longer rides.
- Under-seat space fits a 72-quart cooler and uses the included strap to help secure it in place.
- Marine-grade vinyl fabric resists mildew, fungus, and UV exposure for easier upkeep.
- Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
Installation and fit
Check the console layout, deck reinforcement, and available walkway space before installation. The 15-3/8 inch by 35-1/2 inch footprint is useful for planning fastener locations and confirming that cooler access, tackle storage, and movement around the helm will not be blocked.
Because this is a leaning post rather than a full helm seat with a tall backrest, it suits boats where the operator needs quick movement between driving, fishing, and working around the cockpit. It is a practical match for bay boats, skiffs, and smaller offshore or coastal center consoles that need rod storage and helm support in one compact station.
Use on board
At the helm, this post gives the driver support while standing or leaning through chop, and the footrest helps reduce fatigue on longer runs. Behind the seat, the four rod holders keep outfits staged for trolling, drifting, or quick changes at the fishing grounds.
The open space below the seat keeps a cooler or tackle box close without closing off the deck. That matters on boats where every inch around the console is shared by anglers, gear, and passengers.
Materials and care
Rinse the aluminum frame, rod holders, and upholstery with fresh water after saltwater use, especially around fasteners and tube joints. Use mild boat soap on the vinyl and avoid harsh cleaners that can dry or damage the surface over time.
Keeping the cooler strap clean and checking mounting hardware as part of regular boat maintenance will help the leaning post stay secure and comfortable through repeated fishing trips, trailering, and dockside washdowns.
