It gives the boat a dedicated center rigger position for running a long bait farther back in the spread, which is useful when trolling for pelagic fish and keeping baits separated cleanly behind the transom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mount uses spline lock technology with adjustment points every 18 degrees, so the rigger can be lifted, lowered, and set for fishing, trailering, or passing under bridges. Delrin bearings help the movement feel smooth under hand adjustment, while the stainless steel internal locking mechanism and locking lever keep the pole position controlled once it is set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction combines stainless steel and anodized aluminum, giving the unit the corrosion resistance needed for saltwater use when it is rinsed and maintained properly. It is sold individually and can also serve as a mounting base for a ShadeFin 5 ft x 6 ft shade setup when paired with compatible TACO Marine shade components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard 1-1\/8 inch center rigger poles for a clean match with compatible center rigger setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpline lock adjustment lets the rigger lock at 18 degree intervals for controlled height and laydown positioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSure-Grip knob gives hand control over lift adjustments without relying on loose or improvised hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking lever secures outbound rotation so the rigger stays in the intended running or fishing position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelrin bearings support smooth operation when adjusting the mount during setup or breakdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel internal locking mechanism helps control movement under normal offshore trolling use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel and anodized aluminum construction suits exposed T-top and hardtop installations in saltwater environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a single center rigger mount for boats adding or replacing one center rigger position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is commonly installed on a T-top or hardtop where the boat has enough structure to support the load from a raised center rigger. On canvas top installations, a mounting plate should be used between the brace bars to add support before the base is installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe installation uses a through-bolted layout and requires access to the underside of the mounting area. Careful placement matters, since the rigger needs room to rotate, lay down, and clear antennas, rods, outriggers, and other top-mounted hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is a practical fit for offshore trolling layouts where a center rigger is used to pull a long bait behind the rest of the spread. It is especially useful on center consoles that need a clean centerline rigger position without adding a full pair of side outriggers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe laydown adjustment also helps when the boat is stored, trailered, or moved under low bridges. For fishing crews that regularly change between running, fishing, and storage positions, the indexed adjustment and locking hardware make the process more controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter saltwater use, rinse the mount with fresh water and clean it with mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh cleaners on the anodized aluminum and stainless hardware, since residue and dried salt can shorten the service life of moving parts and finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Grand Slam 170-2 center rigger mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 locking clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 5\/16 x 18 x 1-1\/2 inch bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 5\/16 x 18 nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 plastic washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 stainless washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 stainless lock washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023132356789,"sku":"QBP778694","price":807.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331259_qbp778694.jpg?v=1780191765","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp778694","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
