The Anatomy of a Trollmount

The Trollmount is designed to have the fewest parts necessary, because nobody has ever asked for more parts in a saltwater marine environment. The 6061-T6 aluminum offers excellent tensile strength and superior corrosion resistance to other aluminum alloys. Trollmount ships out fully assembled only requiring 4-3/8” holes and access to the underside of the deck to place the 8”x8”x1/4” backing plate. The 3/4” SS-316 main bolt is torqued with loctite and a 1/4” set screw to maintain the proper pressure on the Delrin thermoplastic polymer bearing plate which has low friction, high stiffness and excellent dimensional stability.  The locking pin is from the sailing industry and goes through 3/8” SS 316 bushings for a precise fit without any wear. The Cerakote finish offers superior adhesion, wear and durability to an anodized finish.
