Finish your boat’s railings with confidence using this stainless steel 25 mm rail base. Engineered with a 5.5° angled (tapered) design, it allows your stanchion or railing posts to angle outward slightly – a common requirement for low-profile and sporty boat railings that follow the hull’s contour. The result is a railing that stands at the correct angle for optimal support and aesthetics.
This base is made to fit 25 mm diameter tubing, which is a standard size for many boat guardrails and pulpits. Crafted from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, it delivers excellent durability and resistance to rust, even in harsh marine environments. The base's top is elegantly rounded and tapered, eliminating any sharp edges and providing a snag-free finish that won't catch on lines or clothing. Its polished finish matches the rest of your stainless steel hardware and adds a professional touch to your vessel.
Installation is straightforward: the base has a flat bottom surface and typically two or three countersunk holes for mounting screws or bolts. Simply position the base on the deck or gunwale where the railing post should attach, mark the holes, and drill for the fasteners. Use stainless steel screws/bolts for mounting to prevent galvanic corrosion. Once secured, insert the 25 mm rail tube into the base and fix it with a through-bolt or set screw as per the rail design (fasteners often included with the rail fitting kit). The slight 5.5° tilt built into the base will set your stanchion at the proper outward angle automatically.
Recommended Use: Ideal for bow rails (pulpits), stern pushpits, and side railings on powerboats and sailboats where a low, outward-leaning rail is desired. Use these bases as replacements or upgrades when refitting your deck hardware, or for custom railing installations on yachts, RIBs, and speedboats. The sturdy construction keeps railings firm and secure, enhancing safety on board by providing reliable support for crew and passengers.
By choosing this angled 25 mm stainless base, you ensure your railings are mounted correctly and will remain solid for years to come. It’s a small but critical component that upholds the structural integrity and finish of your boat’s safety rails.
- Perfect for mounting 25 mm guardrail posts on deck at the proper outward angle – commonly used for bow and stern railings on modern boats.
- Widely used on sailing yachts and powerboats with low-profile pulpits; ensures railing follows the hull shape for better aesthetics and stability.
- Recommended for any rail refit or new installation requiring a secure, corrosion-proof base – provides peace of mind that your safety rails are firmly anchored.
