Split and sliding side mounts
Expand your possibilities
Our stand-offs stand out
Our unique stand-offs, both split and slide mounts, either slip over the end of tubing or clamp on by opening the hinged jaw. Originally designed for mounting solar panels, these mounts dramatically increase the possibilities for updating and adding all kinds of attachments to dodgers, biminis, davits and rails.
Slide mounts with an extensive range of uses
Crafted from 316 marine grade stainless steel, our hinged and sliding offset mounts are available for use with 7/8”, 1” and 1¼” tubing. With them you can:
- Adding tensioning and support struts
- Adding spreader bars
- Attaching solar panels on your bimini top – this hardware is great for DIY solar additions
- Attaching antennae, awnings and foldaways for cutting boards and electronics pads
- Adding grab rails on dodgers, stanchions
- Fixing binnacle or aft rail lines
It’s almost easier to say what you can’t do with our mounts…

*REMEMBER: If you are using our 1 1/4″ mounts to connect to smaller tubing (using either 7/8″ or 1″ eye ends), you will need to drill out the hole in the top of the smaller eye ends to fit the heavy duty bolts in the top of the larger mounts. Please phone us with questions.
Hinged slide mount
No disassembly required
Unlike sliding side mounts, which must slip over the end of a tube, split jaw mounts can attach anywhere, including on frame bends, without disconnecting frame structures. This makes additions, installations, removal for storage and upgrades a breeze – even midseason.
Sliding side mounts
A little sleeker
Our sliding side mounts are less obtrusive than our split mounts (and a little easier on the pocketbook). Great for new builds or removable installations.

(Concave fork mount)
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.
