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.

Great Quality
I have not used at this time for the original intended purpose. I will keep the clamps for future use.

Thank you! Do let us know when you use them – we love pictures. All the best.
Stainless steel hinge
These were not round.
Had to take them to machine shop and have them turned to fit. The shank on them is not .065. Closer to .875. Being they were larger and out of round. They had to be turned.
Luckily I work for a large airline and was able to take them to work.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thank you for this feedback. To help clarify: The description for this item clearly states, “Size: 1″ stainless steel hinge for use with .065″ wall thickness stainless steel tubing” – the insert portion of the hinge is not .065″. That is the wall thickness of the stainless tubing for which is it designed to be used. While it is possible it was out of round, the hinge is purposely designed to be slightly small for 1″ x .065 tubing, and the 0-ring is intended to compensate for any distortions in either the hinge casting or the tubing. We’re sorry this confusion caused you extra work, but we’re very happy you like them.
