Buying Guide
What size should I choose?
- Measure corner radius and overall cap height, then compare with product ranges (usually 3-3/16″ to 3-5/8″ heights). Choose a cap that matches your corner’s radius and provides adequate clearance.
What material matters?
- All listed options use aluminum, typically cast or powder-coated, offering corrosion resistance and light-to-moderate impact protection. Stainless steel options exist elsewhere but are less common for pontoon caps due to weight.
How many corners do I need to protect?
- Packages range from single caps to sets of four. If replacing both corners on a side, a two-pack or four-pack simplifies installation and ensures a consistent look.
Is 90-degree rounded acceptable for all pontoons?
- These products are designed for 90° rounded corners, not 90° right angles. Confirm your corner geometry before purchasing.
Installation tips
- Clean the deck surface before mounting, align caps with the corner radius, and secure with the provided screws if included. For models with a large radius inside curve, verify the outer dimensions against your current caps.
FAQ
