TACO Marine Ribbed Table Pedestal, 2-3/8 in O.D., Aluminum, Dual Taper, Satin Anodized

Overview

The TACO Marine Z60-Series Dual Taper Ribbed is a fixed-height aluminum table pedestal column for 2-3/8 inch diameter marine table systems. It uses a dual taper shape, with tapered ends that seat into a matching table base and table support for a snug fit while still allowing the column to be removed when the table needs to be stowed.

This ribbed column is a practical choice for boat cabins, cockpits, dinette areas, and other onboard spaces where a removable table helps keep the layout flexible. The satin anodized finish gives the pedestal a clean aluminum look and adds useful surface protection for regular marine use.

Key features

• 2-3/8 inch diameter fixed-height table column for compatible marine pedestal bases and table supports.
• Dual taper ribbed column seats into matching tapered components at the top and bottom.
• Removable column format helps open up cockpit or cabin space when the table is not in use.
• Satin anodized aluminum finish suits marine interiors and covered exterior table locations.
• Available in 26 inch, 27-1/2 inch, and 30-3/4 inch lengths for different table heights and layouts.
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Variants

This pedestal column is offered in three length configurations for the same 2-3/8 inch fixed-height table pedestal system.

The length changes between variants, while the ribbed aluminum construction, dual taper style, and satin anodized finish remain consistent across the range.

• Z60-8266VEL26-2: 26 inch length. This shorter column works well where the table needs to sit lower, such as compact cabin seating areas or lower-profile cockpit tables.
• Z60-7279VEL27.5-2: 27-1/2 inch length. This mid-length option gives a little more table height while keeping the same removable dual taper setup.
• Z60-7288VEL30.75-2: 30-3/4 inch length. This taller column is suited to layouts that need extra clearance under the tabletop or a higher dining surface.

Compatibility and fit

Use this column with table bases and table supports made for 2-3/8 inch diameter dual taper columns. Matching the column diameter and taper style matters because the fit between the base, column, and table support is what keeps the table steady underway and at the dock.

Before ordering, measure the existing pedestal column outside diameter and overall length, then confirm that the receiving base and table support are built for a 2-3/8 inch dual taper column. This is especially important when replacing an older pedestal or mixing components from different table systems.

Installation and use

The column drops into the compatible base and supports the tabletop through a matching upper support. Because it is removable, the table can be taken down for cleaning, fishing, entertaining, or clearing walkways in smaller cruising boats.

For a secure installation, the base and table support should be mounted to sound structure with hardware suited to the boat and mounting surface. Check that the column is fully seated before using the table, and avoid using the pedestal as a handhold or support point while moving around the boat.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt and dirt from the column during normal boat washdowns, then dry the surface before storage when possible. A light cleaning routine helps keep the satin anodized finish looking clean and reduces buildup around the ribbed surface.

When the table is removed, store the column where it will not roll, dent, or contact sharp hardware. Keeping the tapered ends clean helps the column seat properly the next time the table is installed.
