DrillSteady
DrillSteady is a compact, portable drill jig that swings open to clamp on to your tubing. All you do is drill.
DrillSteady is easy to use, so it’s great for DIY and professionals who want to build a bimini top, boat dodger, add grab rails and more. It fits in your palm (or in your pocket), so it’s always close at hand.
Drill tubing flawlessly in under 45 seconds?
That’s DrillSteady
Sound too good to be true?
With the DrillSteady drill guide:
- You can drill a bent frame corner, stanchion or other tubing in place. There is no need to disassemble or remove tubing from your boat. This will save you time and money on cutting and welding (or repairing drilling mistakes)
- A 9/64″ (3.5mm) drill bit is held in place securely (use #8 screws)
- Large, knurled thumbscrews mean an easy grip and tight fit on tubing with diameter 3/4″ – 1 1/4″ (19.05mm – 31.75mm)
- The durable cast metal drill guide body (zinc for DrillSteady, bronze for DrillSteady PRO) will not mar your shining stainless steel
- The sturdy, tool steel drill bushing will give you years of service
- Invented and made right here in Maine
Our *NEW* DrillSteady PRO has all the features of DrillSteady, but with a even tougher cast bronze body. Great for heavy use, we’re so sure DrillSteady PRO will keep up with you that we’ll replace it if it ever breaks under normal use. Just send us back the broken parts, tell us what you were drilling when it broke, and we’ll send you a new one.

as always, your products are top shelf – again I removed the set screw and drilled it out for a bolt
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Always happy to make folks happy. We’re so glad they are working well for you.

used the fittings to install a storage box between my dinghy davits – all the fittings worked perfectly – I did drill out the set screws and installed bolts to prevent failure
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Hello there Mr A, So glad to hear these worked out for you. Thanks also for the tip on a new use for our hinges – we’re always super happy to share all the ways our hardware can help on board. All the best for now and happy sailing.
Very happy with purchase
the mounts look great on the arch of our sailboat, holding my solar panels! Easy to set in place. Will buy again when time comes for more panels.

Thank you so much for the feedback – we’re so glad they worked for you, and we look forward to serving you again.
High quality and shipped very quickly.
I’d prefer a product that doesn’t exist yet: curved, fixed length grab rails with swiveled, hinged clamps that don’t require committing to drilled holes in my dodger frame, like studded grab rails do. Gemini should make this!
But these side rail mounts seem like they will work well instead, and price and shipping were better than Sailrite. The stainless casting and finish is perfect quality. I was worried they would not slide over curved tubing, but there is just enough clearance to do so with no problem.

We’re so pleased they did the job for you. Great idea for grabs, too.
Great Service from Gemini
Great service from Gemini from my on-line order placed from Australia. Parts were shipped quickly and lots of feedback from them as to what was happening. DHL air freight let them down with their service though as the 4 -5 days transit turned into 2 weeks as the parts went on a worldwide tour (no reflection on Gemini, they were as frustrated as I was). Very happy with the mounts and will have them and my new solar panels on the yacht in the next week or so.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Aw thanks Mr W for the kind words and being understanding about the shipping problems we faced. You bet we were frustrated for you! We’re so happy the mounts will work for you. Happy sailing.
Nice product
It is a good product and fit correctly on the rail. However check the screw threads one did not seat completely but that was a small problem.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback – we will do as you suggest.
