TACO Marine ShadeFin Mini Clamp Mount, Up to 2.25 in, 6061 Aluminum, Type 304 SS Rods, Misty Silver

Overview

The TACO Marine T10-4000-7 is a ShadeFin Mini Clamp Mount for adding a portable ShadeFin Mini mounting point to a square rail, table edge, deck rail, or lip up to 2.25 inches thick. It is a mounting accessory for the ShadeFin Mini shade system, giving boaters a clean way to reposition shade without committing to a permanent deck installation.

This clamp mount is a practical fit for pontoon boat rails, deck rails, cockpit tables, and other onboard edges where a temporary shade location makes more sense than drilling into the boat. The aluminum grade 6061 alloy body, Type 304 stainless steel clamping rods, and powder-coated Misty Silver finish help it hold up in normal marine use while keeping the installation simple.

Key features

• Clamps to square rails, tables, deck rails, or lips up to 2.25 inches thick.
• Works as a portable mounting option for the TACO ShadeFin Mini shade system.
• Useful for pontoon rails and other onboard locations where movable shade is needed.
• Aluminum grade 6061 alloy construction with a powder-coated Misty Silver finish.
• Two threaded Type 304 stainless steel clamping rods help secure the mount in place.
• Injection-molded nylon cap and knobs make adjustment straightforward by hand.
• Includes two screws that can be tightened for a more secure fit.
• Covered by a 3-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

The clamp format is useful when the boat already has a suitable rail, table edge, or lip and the owner wants to avoid a fixed mount. It can be moved between compatible locations, which helps when shade needs change during the day or when passengers shift between the bow, cockpit, and dockside seating areas.

Before installation, check that the mounting surface is square or has enough flat contact area for the clamp to sit securely. The mount is intended for surfaces up to 2.25 inches thick, so measuring the rail or edge first is the best way to confirm fit.

Materials and use on board

The combination of aluminum grade 6061 alloy, Type 304 stainless steel clamping rods, and nylon adjustment parts suits the kind of mixed exposure found around deck and seating areas. The Misty Silver powder-coated finish gives the mount a finished look that blends well with many pontoon rails, aluminum trim pieces, and light-colored deck hardware.

This mount is a good match for boaters who want ShadeFin Mini coverage in different places on the boat without adding several permanent bases. It is especially useful for casual cruising, sandbar stops, dockside lounging, and pontoon layouts where rail space is available and shade placement changes often.

Compatibility notes

This product is the clamp mount only and is intended for use with the TACO ShadeFin Mini system. Confirm that the ShadeFin Mini and the chosen mounting location are compatible before installation, especially where rail shape, rail thickness, passenger movement, or nearby hardware could affect clearance.

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.
