The TACO Marine GS-500XL Outrigger Mounts are designed for serious offshore sportfishing enthusiasts seeking durability, functionality, and ease of use. Specifically engineered to accept only CF-HD poles, these mounts provide a secure and adjustable platform for deploying outrigger poles up to 24 feet long.

The mount features a patent-pending Twist Lock arm, which simplifies pole connection and eliminates the need for pins or bolts, ensuring quick deployment and secure hold every time. The ergonomic handles enable smooth rotation and lifting of the outriggers, while the dual-detented lifting crank handle locks flush into the base to prevent accidental movement, providing additional security during operation. The base is engineered to operate on hard tops up to 4 inches thick and is suitable for boats ranging from 32 to over 50 feet in length.
