TACO Marine ShadeFin Mini Swivel Seat Mount, For Standard 4-Screw Swivel Seats, 6061 Aluminum, Misty Silver Finish

Overview

The TACO Marine T10-4000-13 is the ShadeFin Mini Swivel Seat Mount, a powder-coated misty silver mount that lets a ShadeFin Mini sun shade work from a standard 4-screw swivel boat seat. It is made from aluminum grade 6061 alloy and includes an injection-molded nylon cap, giving the shade system a clean mounting point without taking over the cockpit or fishing deck.

This mount is used between the boat seat and its pedestal, which makes it a practical fit for bass boats, skiffs, flats boats, and other small boats where a swivel seat is already part of the layout. It is sold separately from the ShadeFin Mini shade, so it works well when adding a swivel-seat location to an existing ShadeFin Mini setup or replacing a mount in the same system.

Key features

• Fits standard 4-screw swivel boat seats, making it useful on many fishing and utility boat seating layouts.
• Works as a dedicated mounting option for the TACO ShadeFin Mini portable shade system.
• Aluminum grade 6061 alloy construction keeps the mount strong while avoiding unnecessary weight under the seat.
• Powder-coated misty silver finish gives the mount a clean look around exposed cockpit and deck seating.
• Includes an injection-molded nylon cap for a finished mounting point when the shade is not in place.
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

The mount installs at the swivel seat location by placing it between the seat and pedestal assembly. This keeps the shade support close to the seating position, so the ShadeFin Mini can be set up where a passenger or angler is already working from the boat.

Before ordering, confirm that the seat uses a standard 4-screw swivel pattern and that there is enough clearance around the seat for the ShadeFin Mini to be used without interfering with steering, casting, hatches, or nearby railings. The mount is best matched to boats where the seat base is already solid and properly fastened to the deck.

Use cases on board

This mount makes sense for anglers and boaters who want portable shade at a swivel seat rather than a fixed deck, rail, or side-wall mounting point. It is especially useful on open boats where shade can be limited during long hours of fishing, drifting, or sitting at anchor.

Because the mount is tied to the seat location, it helps keep shade close to the person using the seat while leaving the rest of the deck open for movement and gear.

Compatibility note

This item is the swivel seat mount only. The ShadeFin Mini shade assembly is required for a complete shade setup and is not described here as part of this mount unless supplied separately in a kit.
