Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0311C-1 is a fixed-angle clamp-on center rigger mount for adding a center line to a compatible T-top fishing setup. It clamps to 3/4" and 1" schedule-40 pipe, as well as 1-1/4" O.D. tube, giving boat owners a practical way to add a center rigger without changing the main T-top structure.

The mount is made from 316 marine grade stainless steel, a strong match for saltwater fishing boats where spray, sun, and vibration are part of normal use. It accepts 1-1/8" center rigger poles, including TACO OC Series aluminum center rigger poles, so it works well for anglers adding another trolling position offshore or along the coast.

Key features

• Fixed-angle clamp-on center rigger mount for adding a center trolling line to a T-top setup.
• 316 marine grade stainless steel construction for saltwater corrosion resistance.
• Fits 3/4" and 1" schedule-40 pipe, plus 1-1/4" O.D. tube.
• Accepts 1-1/8" center rigger poles, including TACO OC Series aluminum center rigger poles.
• Clamp-on mounting makes it useful for compatible existing T-tops where a fixed center rigger position is preferred.
• Anti-rotation set screw helps keep the mount steady once positioned on the pipe or tube.

Installation and setup

This mount is intended for the hoop area of many standard T-tops and hard tops with compatible pipe or tube sizing. Before installation, measure the outside diameter and confirm the pipe type on the boat, since IPS pipe and O.D. tube measurements are not the same thing.

Because it uses a fixed angle, the final mounting position matters. Place the mount where the center rigger pole can clear antennas, hardtop canvas, rocket launchers, lights, and any other top-mounted gear through the full fishing range.

Use on board

This center rigger mount suits fishing boats that need another line in the spread for offshore trolling, coastal runs, or serious weekend fishing. It is a good match for owners who already have a compatible T-top structure and want a clean, stainless mounting point for a 1-1/8" center rigger pole.
