The RAILBLAZA RIBPort gives inflatable boats, RIBs and other smooth surfaces a secure StarPort mounting point without cutting or drilling. Its large 115 x 150 mm base is bonded in place with a 3M VHB adhesive pad, spreading the load across the surface – ideal for fitting Birdboss to a tender or RIB with the Birdboss RAILBLAZA StarPort Adaptor Base (BRAB).
Suitable Locations and Applications
- Inflatable boats, RIBs and tenders
- SUPs, kayaks and coolers
- Flat or gently curved smooth surfaces where drilling 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.

- Inflate inflatable tubes to normal working pressure before fitting.
- 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.
