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.

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.

Measure twice cut once
I ordered the wrong size parts for my Bimini. I contacted Gemini Marine about my foul up. Eve provided me choices to fix the problem and it was done, no more problem. I now have the right size struts and hinges installed on my boat and I love it. They were personable, professional and I would recommend them and their product to everybody.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
The pleasure is all ours. Stuff happens! We’re happy when you are happy.
“Up and Over” Solar Install – Came out Great!
I added solar panels above a bimini and followed Gemini’s guidance form their website for the “up and over” style. I used Gemini fittings which are of excellent quality and arrived promptly. I’m extremely pleased with the result.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Hey! That’s great to hear. Thank you for update on your project – all you DIY-ers take note!
Eye Ends
Experience was great.
Would note that for the eye end, I don’t trust the Allen screw to hold ss tube under even minor stress, so replaced the Allen screw with quick release pins drilled all the way through the eye end and ss tube.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
We’re so glad you found your experience with us helpful. Just to be clear: We’ve been building canvas for 30+ years, and we have every faith in the set screws (called grub screws for our friends Down Under) – I think that’s what you are referring to, but whatever floats your boat! We’d be a bit concerned that if your need to drill all the way through the eye end and the tubing, you might be expecting things to tolerate a bit too much stress (like traveling at speed with your canvas up), so please be careful.
