It gives boat owners a cleaner way to add removable shade where a deck mount, clamp mount, or side-wall mount is not the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round rail version fits 7\/8\" to 1\" OD round rail and includes inserts for 7\/8\" and 1\" OD rail. The square rail version fits 1\" to 1-1\/2\" OD square rail. Both versions use aluminum grade-6061 alloys, stainless steel Type-304 screws, an injection-molded nylon cap, and a powder-coated misty silver finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount suits boats where the shade needs to attach to existing rail structure, such as a bow rail, console rail, leaning-post rail, or other suitable tube location. The mount can be installed vertically or horizontally, which helps match the ShadeFin Mini position to the rail layout on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRail-mounted base for the TACO ShadeFin Mini shade system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable for round tube or square tube rail configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound rail version fits 7\/8\" to 1\" OD round rail and includes inserts for 7\/8\" and 1\" OD rail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare rail version fits 1\" to 1-1\/2\" OD square rail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be mounted vertically or horizontally to suit the rail location and shade angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from aluminum grade-6061 alloys with stainless steel Type-304 screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-molded nylon cap helps protect the mounted assembly and finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated misty silver finish pairs well with common marine hardware and rail finishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware is included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovered by a 3-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ShadeFin Mini rail mount is offered in two tube-rail configurations so the mounting base can match the rail shape already on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rail shape and tube size range change between variants. The aluminum grade-6061 alloy construction, stainless steel Type-304 screws, injection-molded nylon cap, misty silver powder-coated finish, included mounting hardware, and 3-year limited warranty are consistent across both versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-9: square tube rail mount for 1\" to 1-1\/2\" OD square rail. This configuration is for square rail locations where the ShadeFin Mini needs a fixed rail-mounted base that can sit vertically or horizontally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT10-4000-15: round tube rail mount for 7\/8\" to 1\" OD round rail. This configuration includes inserts for 7\/8\" and 1\" OD rail, making it the match for common round rail installations on consoles, bow areas, and other shade-ready rail positions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, check the outside diameter and shape of the rail at the mounting location. The mount should match the rail profile closely, and the rail section should be positioned where the ShadeFin Mini can deploy without interfering with steering, fishing movement, seat access, hatches, or walking paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the mount can be installed vertically or horizontally, it gives some flexibility when working around rail layouts on center consoles, cruisers, bay boats, and other vessels with exposed tube structure. Hardware is included, but the final installation should always be checked for tightness after the first few uses and as part of normal boat maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is a good match for owners who already use or plan to use a ShadeFin Mini and want the shade supported from existing rail tubing rather than adding a deck or wall mount. It is especially practical for boats where shade is needed at a specific seat, helm-adjacent position, casting area, or rest spot without permanently changing the deck layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the mounted area with fresh water after saltwater use, especially around the screws and rail contact points. Check the cap, fasteners, and rail fit periodically, since vibration, trailering, and repeated shade use can loosen hardware over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShadeFin Mini rail mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection-molded nylon cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRail inserts for 7\/8\" and 1\" OD rail on T10-4000-15 only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Square Tube","offer_id":52023564992693,"sku":"QBP797160-V9","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Round Tube","offer_id":52023565025461,"sku":"QBP797160-V8","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1335328_qbp797160.jpg?v=1780191886","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp797160","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
