TACO Marine Come On Board Handle Receiver with Backing Plate, SS304, Fits 1-1/2 in Handles

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0800C-1 is a stainless steel receiver with a backing plate for the TACO Come On Board Handle with a Fixed Base Mount. It gives the handle a solid socket point on the gunnel, making it useful for boats that need a safer handhold while boarding from the dock.

The receiver is cast from Type-304 stainless steel and has a 3" diameter mounting surface. It fits 1-1/2" diameter handles, is tapped for 1/4" hardware, and includes a bottom drain hole so water does not sit inside the socket after washdowns, rain, or spray.

Many boaters install one receiver on each side of the boat so the boarding handle can be moved between port and starboard when dock conditions change. The matching backing plate helps spread the load under the mounting surface, which is important on gunnels and other boarding points that see repeated pull and push forces.

Installation and fit

This receiver is meant for fixed-base Come On Board Handle installations where a permanent socket point is needed on the boat. The mounting area should be flat enough for the 3" receiver surface and strong enough to handle boarding loads, with access behind the surface for the backing plate and hardware.

Because the receiver is tapped for 1/4" hardware, the installer can match fastener length and backing requirements to the gunnel or deck structure. Hardware is not included, so selection should account for the vessel material, backing thickness, and exposure to saltwater.

Use on board

This receiver is a practical fit for boats that board from either side depending on the slip, fuel dock, rafting setup, or tide. Adding a second receiver lets the same handle serve both port and starboard boarding points without keeping a full second handle assembly on board.

It is especially useful for families, guests, and crew who want a steadier handhold when stepping between a dock and the cockpit or side deck. The stainless finish also suits visible gunnel locations where the hardware remains mounted between trips.
