This angled round rail base is designed to facilitate mounting of boat railings at a slope, providing a strong and dependable attachment point. The fitting is made from cast AISI 316 stainless steel, meaning it can withstand harsh marine conditions without rusting or losing strength. The mirror-polished surface offers an attractive appearance that matches other chrome fittings on board.
With a fixed 60-degree inclination, this base makes it simple to construct railing sections that rise at an angle – for example, at the bow of the boat, where guard rails often slope upward. The round flange of the base has ample diameter and multiple mounting holes, which ensure it can handle the stresses and loads placed on a railing (such as people leaning or pulling on it) without wobble. The installation results in a firm and secure railing support, enhancing safety on deck.
Two size options are available for this base to cover different rail standards: one model fits Ø22 mm tubes and another fits Ø25 mm tubes. Both versions share the same design and angle – they differ only in the socket’s inner diameter. This makes it straightforward to choose the correct base according to your boat’s existing rail tubing or the new rails you plan to install.
Usage & Recommendations:
- Ø22 mm Variant: Suited for railing posts with 22 mm tube diameter, commonly found on smaller boats, fishing vessels, and RIBs. Choose this version if your current or planned railings use Ø22 mm tubing
- Ø25 mm Variant: Intended for railings with 25 mm tube diameter, a standard on many sailboats and larger powerboats. This variant is recommended when a higher strength railing is needed, often on medium to large vessels with thicker guard rails
- When installing, be sure to use quality stainless steel bolts and consider bedding the base with a marine sealant to prevent water ingress through the screw holes
- This base is an excellent choice for refitting or upgrading a bow pulpit or inclined railing section – the standard 60° angle matches most factory designs, restoring original functionality and appearance while ensuring secure support for crew when moving around the deck
