Choose from our selection of quality hardware
Eye ends – Used to cover the end of cut tubing to attach other components, like post or fork mounts or quick release pins. Available in three sizes. 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.
Slip tees – Used to join pieces of tubing with a clean, strong junction. Available in two sizes. We also have a tee that opens like a book on a hinge – only available in 7/8″.
Deck hinges – Used to secure tubing frames to flat surfaces. Your choice of universal, 90degree, angled, swivel with an integrated eye end, two types of Accon mounts and the angled shim that can be used with them.
Stainless steel sleeves – Used to secure a GemLock folding strut in a locked, open position, but also useful for other jobs. Available in 4 sizes.
Jaw mounts – If our offset mounts aren’t quite what you are looking for, these sliding and split jaw mounts might be just the thing.
Spring balls – Used to hold a stainless steel sleeve in its locked position on a GemLock folding strut and then release it when you want to fold the hinge.
Snap tool – Don’t struggle with your canvas snaps, use this professional snap tool to attach and remove snapped canvas with ease.
Post screws, clamp bolts, washers and set screws – Lost a little something overboard? Have no fear, we’ve got what you need right here to replace lost components of Gemini Marine Products. Sold in sets of six.
Drop nose quick release pins – Perfect to use with our fork mounts or jaw mounts when you want the speed or ease of disconnecting frames without tools.

as always, your products are top shelf – again I removed the set screw and drilled it out for a bolt
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Always happy to make folks happy. We’re so glad they are working well for you.

used the fittings to install a storage box between my dinghy davits – all the fittings worked perfectly – I did drill out the set screws and installed bolts to prevent failure
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Hello there Mr A, So glad to hear these worked out for you. Thanks also for the tip on a new use for our hinges – we’re always super happy to share all the ways our hardware can help on board. All the best for now and happy sailing.
Very happy with purchase
the mounts look great on the arch of our sailboat, holding my solar panels! Easy to set in place. Will buy again when time comes for more panels.

Thank you so much for the feedback – we’re so glad they worked for you, and we look forward to serving you again.
High quality and shipped very quickly.
I’d prefer a product that doesn’t exist yet: curved, fixed length grab rails with swiveled, hinged clamps that don’t require committing to drilled holes in my dodger frame, like studded grab rails do. Gemini should make this!
But these side rail mounts seem like they will work well instead, and price and shipping were better than Sailrite. The stainless casting and finish is perfect quality. I was worried they would not slide over curved tubing, but there is just enough clearance to do so with no problem.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
We’re so pleased they did the job for you. Great idea for grabs, too.
Great Service from Gemini
Great service from Gemini from my on-line order placed from Australia. Parts were shipped quickly and lots of feedback from them as to what was happening. DHL air freight let them down with their service though as the 4 -5 days transit turned into 2 weeks as the parts went on a worldwide tour (no reflection on Gemini, they were as frustrated as I was). Very happy with the mounts and will have them and my new solar panels on the yacht in the next week or so.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Aw thanks Mr W for the kind words and being understanding about the shipping problems we faced. You bet we were frustrated for you! We’re so happy the mounts will work for you. Happy sailing.
Nice product
It is a good product and fit correctly on the rail. However check the screw threads one did not seat completely but that was a small problem.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thanks for the kind words and the feedback – we will do as you suggest.
