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.

Easy Install, functional hardware
I recently purchased 4 Concave fork mounts to install a new Solar panel. The mounts installed easily and are highly functional. The finish installation was quick and professional!
Response from Gemini Marine Products
We’re so glad you find them useful – being easy to use is our bonus gift for you! All the best.
Solar mount
Perfect solution to mount a solar panel on the Bimini.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thank you! We do like that word “perfect”…
Exactly as described
Able to install both grab rails in less than 30 minutes once I measured and cut the stainless bars to size, which I used a stainless tubing cutter to do. Making an exact measurement was challenging since the tube was too long for the grab rail but I got close enough to produce a secure grab rail.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Excellent news and congratulations! We’re so glad you like it.
Almost Perfect
Great Product, good quality. I just wish the hex screw came in from the other side. It has an embedded hex nut so you can’t change the arrangement. If you’re adding this to an existing Dodger it’s just hard to tighten it without removing the Dodger. That’s the only reason for not giving it a 5 star rating.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
That nut absolutely DOES come out, precisely so you can switch the hex cap screw around. Go on, give it a go. We guess that makes it perfect…?
Solar panel mount
Outstanding product. We mounted our solar panels to Bimini frame and also created strapless Bimini and dodger. This is our second order and we are extremely pleased with the products and service
Response from Gemini Marine Products
It was lovely to see your name come up again – we’re so glad these mounts did the trick.
