Taco Metals Cockpit & Fillet Tables
Taco Metals Poly Fillet Tables: Professional-Grade Fish Processing Solutions
When it comes to durable, functional marine fillet tables, Taco Metals brings over six decades of marine hardware expertise to every product. Since entering the recreational marine market in the early 1970s, this Florida-based manufacturer has earned a reputation for innovation and quality among boat builders and fishing enthusiasts alike. Their line of cockpit and fillet tables exemplifies the same engineering precision that has made Taco a trusted name in sport fishing accessories.
UV-Stabilized Construction Built for Marine Environments
Taco Metals constructs their fillet tables from UV-stabilized, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) that's specifically engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing. This FDA-approved material resists discoloration, cracking, mildew, and won't absorb fish odors even after years of use. The half-inch thick tabletop provides a solid, stable work surface for filleting fish, cutting bait, or serving food onboard.
Versatile Gunnel Mount Systems
The hallmark of Taco Metals' fillet table design is the adjustable nylon tilt mount system that locks at multiple angles for angler convenience. These tables conveniently fit into standard gunnel rod holders and fold completely flat for easy removal and storage when not in use. Available in 20-inch and 32-inch widths, the tables attach via anodized aluminum mounts with stainless steel fasteners that resist corrosion. Some models also include dock-side mounting options for shore-based fish cleaning stations.
Integrated Storage and Practical Features
Understanding the needs of working anglers, Taco has incorporated integrated knife and pliers holders directly into their fillet table designs, keeping essential tools within easy reach during fish processing. Drainage holes facilitate quick cleanup, while the polyethylene surface wipes clean effortlessly. These thoughtful design elements reflect Taco Metals' deep understanding of sport fishing workflows, developed through decades of partnerships with boat builders and professional anglers.
Backed by Marine Industry Leadership
As part of the broader Taco Marine product ecosystem—which includes outrigger systems, marine seating, and specialty hardware—these fillet tables benefit from the company's comprehensive manufacturing capabilities and quality control standards. Taco Metals' commitment to innovation and supply chain reliability has made them a preferred OEM supplier to leading boat manufacturers, ensuring that recreational boaters receive the same professional-grade equipment found on factory-built fishing vessels.
