One hand for the boat
New grab rail kits make safety easy
Solid and folding grab rails you can install today
Moving around on a boat underway can be tricky, but it can be safer with good, strong grabs ready and waiting.
If your boat has one or two places where a new grab would come in, well, handy, we’d like to introduce our new suite of DIY kits. No drilling required, no need to bend tubing, kits come with all the ocean-grade stainless steel components you need to install quickly and easily.

Grab rail kits
Safety won’t wait. If you slip, or your boat moves underfoot, are you confident your hand will reach something solid and reliable?
If adding a grab rail or two would give you more peace of mind, check our our new DIY kits. We offer a variety of options to help you add a grab just about anywhere you have tubing. Choose the tubing diameter and mount type that suits you best, and we’ll send you the pieces you need to install without having to hire a professional.
Each grab rail kit contains:
- 1 x 3′ grab rail (your choice of a patented 3′ GemLock folding strut OR a 3′ length of 316 stainless tubing in your chosen size) Just cut to length and install.
- 2 x Gemini Marine Products rail mounts (your choice of sliding or split side mounts OR concave post mounts)
- 2 x eye ends in the same size as your chosen tubing
- All kits are priced at a discount on buying the components separately
Grab rails can be installed inboard or outboard of frame/tubing. They can be installed either outside/around canvas or through it by cutting a small hole in the canvas where the post on the rail mount will be and feed post through the hole. See our installation guide for more information.
Pro tip: Choose carefully!
While our grabs can be placed on tubing just about anywhere, care is needed in choosing the right rail mounts for the job. Please consider:
- Sliding side mounts WILL NOT slip around bends in tubing. If you need to place your mounts inside a bend, please choose a kit with split mounts.
- If the grab will be placed either on top of the roof of a dodger/bimini or overhead under the roof, please choose a kit with concave post mounts. This will enable the simplest installation and cleanest lines for your canvas.

Broke
Bought six. First time out, two broke immediately. Quality not as high as I’d expected.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Hello Mr C. We’re sorry our hinges didn’t meet your expectations. In your other communication you said you used them on a bimini. It sounds as if perhaps they were used in a way that overtaxed their design (did you leave your bimini up while underway?) and a stronger stainless steel hinge would have been a better option. We are always here (by email or telephone) to give advice on which of our products is the best fit for any given situation.
Excellent service and product

Ok so far
I like this product as its serves a nitch propose. However, the hinge itself is a built lose and wobbly. I’ve also purchased the plastic version for aluminum and noticed that the fit of the hinge is much tighter. I wish this hinge used the same design and the plastic one.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Yes we agree. These hinges were strong, but indeed they could feel a bit loose for some applications, so thank you for this feedback. We have redesigned our stainless steel hinges and remanufactured. We now (October 2019) have the new hinges in stock, and they are considerably tighter than the old ones.
Quick shipping and good quality
the slid mount seems really nice. I haven’t installed them yet but, they look really nice.
SS 1-1/4 Eye End
