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.

Excellent: I DID buy from you again (and again)
I have purchased several Gemini stainless steel mounts, end caps, etc. to fasten a 365 watt solar panel to the davits on my sailboat. The design and versatility of the Gemini items made it possible to build a fantastic custom solar panel mount and save at least one large Boat Buck compared to the cost of a factory mount. Everything I purchased from Gemini was top notch quality, and I appreciated being able to talk with a human and the expeditious shipping! Cool stuff, great quality and customer service!
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thank you for the kind words – we do work hard to make sure people get what they need when they need it.
The hinged strapless Bimini kit works well.
Installation was easy. Absolutely recommend the hinged mount over the slip-on. Be sure to center the tube joint when folded before tightening and setting the Bimini back up. Double check measurements. Save lengths of marked tape just in case you discover measured incorrectly. If you do make a minor mistake, or if the tube does not make canvas tight enough, no biggie. Simply loosen the mounts and lower horizontal tube until the canvas is made tight. That is what I did.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
That’s exactly what we would recommend! We’re so glad you’re pleased with your new bimini.
Old world craftsmanship is still accessible.
I’ll be buying more, thanks!
