Product code: 03-4165-11 | Brand: Genuine RAILBLAZA
The RAILBLAZA Bimini RailMount clamps onto your bimini frame to create a secure StarPort mounting point at bimini height – with no drilling. Combined with the Birdboss RAILBLAZA StarPort Adaptor Base (BRAB), it lets you position Birdboss above your bimini or boat cover, right where birds like to land, and lift it off in seconds when you head out.
Suitable Locations and Applications
- Bimini frames with round tube of 19, 22 or 25 mm
- Bimini and canopy frames with square tube of 28 or 32 mm
- Protecting biminis, boat covers and canopies from birds while moored
- Removable installations where drilling the frame is not desirable
How It Connects to Birdboss
This mount has a built-in RAILBLAZA StarPort socket. Fit the Birdboss RAILBLAZA StarPort Adaptor Base (BRAB) to your Birdboss, insert it into the StarPort and turn it until the locking slide clicks into place. To remove Birdboss, release the slide, turn and lift out – the mount stays in position, ready for next time.

Installation
Select the rubber inserts to suit your tube, place the two halves of the mount around the frame and screw them together with the supplied stainless-steel hardware. Choose a position where the Birdboss arms will clear the bimini fabric and frame when they rotate.
Installation and Safety Notes
- Make sure the bimini frame is sound and firmly fixed before fitting Birdboss.
- Tighten the screws evenly and do not overtighten, particularly on thin-walled bimini tube.
- Remove Birdboss when the boat is under way and in extreme winds (over 40 knots).
- Position Birdboss so the arms can rotate freely, clear of rigging, antennas, canopies and people.
- Adjust the Birdboss arms evenly so the unit stays balanced.
- Check the mount, StarPort lock and Birdboss fittings regularly, especially after rough weather.
- Rinse the mount and BRAB with fresh water after exposure to salt spray.
