Physically yes, but think about leverage. A tall whip on a rail mount waves a long lever at the rail fitting every time you hit a wake, and it is the rail joint that complains first, not the mount. Keep long antennas short-based, or fit a spring base.
Measure the tube diameter, not the mount. The bracket clamps around a rail, and the two halves have to close properly on your tube for it to hold. If the clamp will not pull up tight, it will rotate under the antenna's weight and point the whip at the water.
A metal mount becomes part of the antenna's ground path, which is usually a good thing on a VHF whip and a nuisance if the maker wants an isolated base. Read the antenna's own fitting notes first, and run your coax where it will not chafe on the rail.
