Will this fitting rust in a saltwater environment?

No. Unlike standard 304 steel, this fitting is constructed from premium Grade 316 Stainless Steel, which contains molybdenum for superior resistance against pitting and corrosion in saline conditions.

Does it include the mounting screws for the deck?

This unit includes the internal set-screws to secure the 7/8" tubing, but deck mounting screws are sold separately to ensure you can choose the correct length and thread type for your specific hull material (fiberglass vs. wood).

Is the 90-degree angle precision-welded for heavy loads?

Yes, the tube-to-base joint is precision-welded and then mirror-polished to provide maximum structural integrity for handrails and awning supports, capable of withstanding high-torque marine movements.

Your rail is loose. It rattles in a swell. One bad grab and you are in the drink. Cheap fittings are a death wish. Stop trusting your life to toys.

The Rust Problem

Zinc fades. Plastic snaps like dry twigs. Even 304 steel pits in a week of salt spray. Brown streaks on your gelcoat mean your hardware is dying. Don't be that guy. Fix it right. Cheap steel is for freshwater pond boats. Real sailors use 316.

If you are rigging a Marine T-Top Bimini for Center Console - 25mm Aluminum Frame (Blue), you know the value of solid mounts. Don't skimp here.
