GS-280 / 2801 OUTRIGGER MOUNT / 3
GS-280/2801
• Backing plates are available for extra strength and
recommended when mounting through a hardtop
(part #BP150BSY-320-1).
• When installing your Grand Slam, locate the center
of the 3-1/8" hole at least 9-1/2" from the hardtop
frame, vertical post, or any other object that might
hinder the movement of the handle.
• If the top has an arch to it, wedge plates can be
ordered to keep the Grand Slams upright and
straight (part #WP-150WHA-1).
• The GS-280 and GS-2801 mounts are a pair of Port
and Starboard units. When installing, the upward
rotation knob needs to face outboard for easy
access.
• When installing the handle, make sure it first goes
through the larger hole (the one that is shaped like
the opening of a doghouse). If reversed, the unit
will fail to rotate.

INSTALLATION NOTES
CANVAS TOP
• It is very important that your mounting surface for the Grand Slam (i.e., T-top,
Arch or Hardtop), be suitably constructed to provide a strong mounting area for
your outrigger base. It is recommended to use TACO Marine’s weld-on Grand
Slam extrusion plates (sold separately) [GSE-1939].
• These plates are pre-drilled and ready to install the Grand Slam. If you already
have a plate, it should be at least 3/8" thick and 5" wide, with 3-4 welded seams
to be used to accommodate the 6" length of the units' base from bow to stern.
• When installing the Grand Slam through canvas, simply cut an X over the 3-1/8"
hole. Install and bolt down the Grand Slam, then trim off the excess canvas.
HARDTOP
When installing through a hardtop, verify the top is foam or core filled. It is
recommended to use included spacers (small lengths of tubing cut to size) to fit
inside where the mounting bolts pass through to ensure that when the bolts are
tightened the top is not compressed.
