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.

I’ve just received my rail mount and it seems to have excellent quality. I’m very happy with the purchase, customer service and speed for international shipment.

We’re so happy to hear from you! Thank you for your interest in our products and happy sailing.
Concave post rails
Purchased 4 concave post rails to use in mounting 4 x 175 watt flexible solar panels to the Bimini frame on my 40.5 Hunter Legend. Panels will be supported by a frame of 7/8″ 316 stainless tubing joined by 90 deg corner fittings and T Fittings along the two interior rails all in 316 stainless. Used your drill guide Pro to mount the posts to the Bimini and the solar frame rails to the posts. Had to use a slightly longer bolt than one supplied with the posts to reach through the 7/8″ stainless tubing but all is secured and the panels are making power for both the 2 x 8D AGM house batteries and the AGM start battery. Thanks for the prompt service on my order delivery.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
You are most welcome. We’re so glad to make things a little easier for you.
Drill Steady Pro
Great piece of kit, worked as described. Great for initial hole drilling and also as a pilot hole for a larger bit if a bigger hole is required.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Yeah it’s a handy little thing, isn’t it? We’re glad you like it.
