It extends from 42 inches to 67 inches tall, helping raise ShadeFin over the deck so there is usable standing space below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is made from clear anodized aluminum and uses a solid aluminum gimbal butt that drops into a standard rod holder. The bottom joint adjusts the upward angle to 0°, 15°, or 30° with a Sure-Grip knob and pull pin lock, while the throw latch controls height and 360° horizontal rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a practical add-on for boats that need shade at the dock, at the sandbar, while fishing, or when people are in the water alongside the boat. A fixed or adjustable ShadeFin rod holder mount is required at the top and is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard gunnel rod holders, so no permanent deck hardware is needed for normal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescopes from 42 inches to 67 inches tall to lift ShadeFin above the deck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom joint adjusts to 0°, 15°, or 30° using a Sure-Grip knob and pull pin lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrow latch allows height adjustment and 360° horizontal rotation for positioning shade over the deck or over the side of the boat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear anodized aluminum construction helps keep the mount light while standing up to regular marine use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid aluminum gimbal butt seats into the rod holder for a stable base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Delrin bearings support smooth adjustment during setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold each and backed by a 1-year limited warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for boats with a standard gunnel rod holder. Insert the solid gimbal butt into the rod holder, remove the pull pin, set the lower joint angle to 0°, 15°, or 30°, tighten the Sure-Grip knob, and reinstall the pull pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ShadeFin rod holder mount then fits into the top opening. Once the gimbal butt seats into the accessory gimbal pin, the ShadeFin can be attached and deployed. The throw latch is used after setup to fine tune the height and rotate the shade into position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mount is intended for use with the TACO Marine ShadeFin system and a standard gunnel rod holder. It is a good match for center consoles, bay boats, cruisers, and other vessels where rod holders are already available and temporary shade is preferred over a fixed frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it relies on an existing rod holder, fit should be checked against the rod holder location, angle, and surrounding clearance on the boat. The mount also needs the separate fixed or adjustable ShadeFin rod holder mount at the top to complete the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clear anodized aluminum tube, solid aluminum gimbal butt, and Delrin bearing components make the unit suitable for repeated handling in a marine environment. After use around saltwater, rinse the mount with fresh water, dry it before storage, and check the latch, pull pin, and knob before the next setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TACO Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023071408309,"sku":"QBP991962","price":455.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1331633_qbp991962.jpg?v=1780191656","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp991962","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
