Question: What are the distinctive features of Snapit! products?

Answer: There are many distinctive features of SnapIt! products. Below are some of the more significant:

  • No sharp edges or square corners to cause injury.
  • Unparalleled customer service and guarantee.
  • Graceful designs that accent the boats beauty.
  • Proven American craftsmanship.
  • All necessary mounting hardware included in original purchase.
  • Durable long lasting construction.

Question: How do I measure?

Answer: If you do not have access to a set of calipers the simplest way to get an accurate measurement is to use an adjustable wrench. An adjustable wrench has jaws that move in and out by turning a screw with your thumb. Adjust the wrench until the jaws are snug against both sides of the round tube and then lay a tape measure or ruler across the jaws to get the diameter of the tubing. All of the binnacle mount accessories such as the cockpit tables (M0011 and M0012) as well as Model #’s M005, M0023, M0027 and M0027M require a center to center dimension from one tube to the other as well as the diameter of the tube. If you do not know the center spacing on your pedestal guard, simply use a tape measure or ruler and measure from inside to inside and outside to outside of the tubes and provide us with both numbers.

Question: If I mistakenly order the wrong size can I exchange it?

Answer: Yes, provided the item is in new condition, has not been modified and you are willing to pay postage to and from. Taking the time to provide accurate measurements will save you time and expense.

Question: What are Snapit! products made of?

Answer: SnapIt! products are made from HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) specially formulated for the marine environment. A common household product made from HDPE is the plastic cutting board. The material used by SnapIt! differs from the material in cutting boards in that it is UV stabilized and utilizes color dyes.

Question: Where are SnapIt! products made?

Answer: SnapIt! products are made in Savoy, Texas USA and qualify under NAFTA regulations to claim the USA as the country of origin.

Question: Will SnapIt! products breakdown from exposure to sunlight?

Answer: No, SnapIt! products are manufactured from material specifically formulated for the harsh marine environment and are guaranteed against UV breakdown.

Question: What happens if my Snapit! product breaks?

Answer: If your Snapit! product has not been modified and breaks under the normal use for which it was designed call and notify us and then return it for repair or replacement. Shipment to us is at your expense, Snapit! will cover the return postage to you.

Question: Are other colors available?

Answer: Yes, SnapIt! typically stocks white, gray and black and these colors are available at no difference in price. Special order colors may be ordered at a premium depending on availability from the manufacturer.

Question: Do I need to order a certain size for my tubing?

Answer: When ordering product numbers with an M or T prefix you must order the specific size. Product numbers with the V prefix come with mounting hardware to fit 7/8, 1, 1 1/8 or 1 1/4″ round tubing.

Question: What is the main difference between the Snapit! (M#), TwistIt! (T#) and Versatile (V#) product lines?

Answer: The primary difference between the TwistIt! product line and the other product lines is that the TwistIt! is designed to be easily moved around on the boat. The original SnapIt! design is furnished with a “U” clamp that can be used to secure the unit in a permanent location and to help avoid theft. The Versatile line mounts permanently in one location and was developed with a mounting system that fits the most common round tube sizes or a flat surface.

Question: Can I purchase a SnapIt! to mount on a flat surface?

Answer: Yes, the V Series will mount to flat surfaces and any other styles not available in the V Series may be special ordered at no additional charge for mounting to a flat surface.

Question: Do SnapIt! products float?

Answer: SnapIt! does not guarantee the floatation of its products. However, the HDPE is buoyant and the governing factor regarding the floatation of a specific item is the amount of stainless hardware used in assembly. If floatation is a concern we recommend initial tests in a controlled environment before installation.
