{"product_id":"qbp509697","title":"TACO Marine ShadeFin Mini Rod Holder Mount, For 1.75 in+ Rod Holders, 6061 Aluminum","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe TACO Marine T10-4000-10 is a ShadeFin Mini rod holder mount for adding the ShadeFin Mini boat shade to an existing rod holder location. It fits standard rod holders with an inside diameter of 1.75 inches or greater, giving boat owners a clean way to set shade near the cockpit, fishing area, helm, or seating space without adding a permanent deck mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the mount only, made for use with the TACO ShadeFin Mini system. The 9-1\/4 inch mount uses aluminum-grade 6061 alloys with a powder-coated misty silver finish, plus a Type-304 stainless steel threaded rod and an injection-molded nylon cap for the tightening point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce installed in the rod holder, the mount can stay in place when the shade is not being used, or it can be loosened, removed, and stowed. That makes it a practical option for boats where shade needs change between fishing, cruising, anchoring, and dockside time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard rod holders with an inside diameter of 1.75 inches or greater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for attaching a TACO ShadeFin Mini to a rod holder location.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum-grade 6061 alloy construction with a powder-coated misty silver finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType-304 stainless steel threaded rod with an injection-molded nylon cap for secure tightening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9-1\/4 inch overall length for a compact fit in the rod holder area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan remain in the rod holder when not in use, or be removed and stowed after loosening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by a 3-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: insert the mount into a compatible rod holder, tighten it until snug, and attach the ShadeFin Mini. The setup works well for boats that already have rod holders in useful shade positions, especially center consoles, bay boats, skiffs, pontoons, and fishing boats where a fixed shade mount may not be the best fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, measure the inside diameter of the rod holder and confirm that the location gives the ShadeFin Mini enough room to open, angle, and clear nearby rails, leaning posts, outriggers, rods, antennas, or canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is intended for the TACO ShadeFin Mini and standard rod holders with an inside diameter of 1.75 inches or greater. It is not a universal umbrella base and it is not the complete ShadeFin Mini shade assembly, so the shade unit must be purchased separately unless it is already on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good match for boaters who want shade that can move with the day rather than stay fixed in one permanent mounting position. The rod holder location also helps keep the mounting point off the walking surface, which can be useful on smaller decks and open cockpit layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aluminum alloy body, powder-coated finish, stainless steel threaded rod, and nylon cap are suited to regular boat use where hardware may see spray, sun, and vibration. Rinse the mount with fresh water after saltwater trips, check the tightening point before each use, and stow it dry when it will not be used for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023563747509,"sku":"QBP509697","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331426_qbp509697.jpg?v=1780191883","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp509697","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
