Split and sliding side mounts

Extend your possibilitites

Our stand-offs stand out

Our unique stand-off type mounts either slide over the end of tubing or clamp on by opening the hinged jaw. Originally designed for mounting solar panels, these mounts dramatically increase the possibilities for updating and adding all kinds of attachments to dodgers, biminis, davits and rails.

No disassembly required with our hinged slide mount.

Unlike sliding side mounts, which must slip over the end of a tube, split jaw mounts can attach anywhere, including on frame bends, without disconnecting frame structures. This makes additions, installations, removal for storage and upgrades a breeze – even midseason.

Want something sleeker? Try our sliding side mounts.

Our sliding side mounts are less obtrusive than our split mounts (and a little easier on the pocketbook). Great for new builds or removable installations.

This is my second purchase. I have another project that these will allow me to fab vs hiring a welder. Saving some bucks, yet with a quality installation.

Ordering process and shipping was facile and very quick. Upon arrival, I found the items to be a higher level of quality over fittings available from other suppliers. The parts allowed me to design a nice tilting panel holder. Thanks!

Response from Gemini Marine Products

We’d love to see pictures of that tiling panel holder – you’d be surprised how many people are trying to do just that.
