Whitecap S-1465C 7/8" Rectangular Rail Base 60 Degree
Whitecap S-1465C 7/8" Rectangular Rail Base 60 Degree — Product description
The Whitecap S-1465C is a rectangular rail base with a 60 degree angle, cast from Zamac with a silver finish and sized for 7/8 inch tube. It's the fitting you reach for when you're rigging a rail, canopy frame, or handrail on a fresh water boat.
If you've ever built or repaired a rail on a boat, you know the base fitting does the quiet, important work. The Whitecap S-1465C is a rectangular base that sets your tube at a 60 degree angle off the mounting surface, which is the go-to angle for a lot of side rails and canopy frames. It takes 7/8 inch outside diameter tube, the common size for marine rails and bimini bows.
It's cast from Zamac and finished in silver, so it looks clean against gelcoat or a painted deck. The rectangular footprint gives you two mounting holes in a straight line, which makes it easy to lay out and lock down solid. Use it to start a rail run, tie into a canopy frame, or rebuild a fitting that's seen better days.
One thing to be clear about. This one's rated for fresh water installation only. Zamac holds up great on lakes and rivers, but salt is hard on it over time. If you're on a fresh water boat, it's a clean, affordable fix. Running in salt? You'll want a stainless fitting instead.
