TACO Marine Striker Base Gunnel Mount, For 1-1/8 in Outrigger Poles, Cast 316 Stainless Steel, 12 Locking Positions, Pair

Overview

The TACO Marine F16-0212-F is a Striker gunnel mount base set for 1-1/8 inch outrigger poles, made for boats that need a clean, low-profile outrigger mounting point along the gunwale. It is sold in pairs and uses polished Type 316L stainless steel, which suits exposed saltwater locations where corrosion resistance matters.

This mount works with TACO Marine 1-1/8 inch Tele-Outrigger poles and is also commonly used with Lee, Perko, and Rupp outrigger poles of the same size. The 45 degree ambidextrous arm can be used on port or starboard bases, while the removable arm helps keep the gunwale clear when the outriggers are not in use.

The hex nut locking design gives the setup 12 locking positions, including stand-up and lay-down positions for trolling. It is intended for trolling speeds only; outriggers should be placed in the vertical position when the boat is running at speed.

Key features

• Fits 1-1/8 inch outrigger poles, including TACO Marine Tele-Outrigger poles and compatible Lee, Perko, and Rupp poles of the same diameter.
• Polished Type 316L stainless steel construction helps the bases hold up in saltwater, spray, and regular washdowns.
• Hex nut locking design gives 12 positions for trolling layouts, including stand-up and lay-down configurations.
• Ambidextrous 45 degree arm works with both port and starboard bases, which helps simplify installation and spare-part planning.
• Removable arm keeps the gunwale more open when the outrigger setup is not being used.
• Sold in pairs for matching port and starboard outrigger mounting points.
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Installation and setup

This gunnel mount is a good fit for smaller sportfishing boats, center consoles, and skiffs where a full outrigger base needs to sit close to the gunwale rather than on a hardtop or tower. Before drilling, check that the mounting area has enough backing, clearance below the gunwale, and room for the arm to move through the positions you plan to use while trolling.

Because the arm is removable, the bases can stay installed while the deck edge remains easier to move around, clean, and cover. This is useful on boats where the same gunwale area is used for fishing, docking, boarding, or storage.

Compatibility and use on board

The F16-0212-F is meant for 1-1/8 inch outrigger systems, so pole diameter is the first fit point to confirm. It suits trolling setups where the crew needs adjustable spreader positions without adding a large above-deck mechanism.

For safe operation, use the bases at trolling speeds and return the outriggers to the vertical position before running the boat at speed. That detail matters on open water, where wind load, vibration, and boat motion can put extra strain on outrigger hardware.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater use, rinse the stainless steel bases with fresh water and wipe away salt deposits around the locking surfaces and mounting area. Periodic inspection of the fasteners, backing area, and moving parts helps keep the outrigger setup secure through regular fishing use.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
