Polished Stainless Steel Marine Side-Mount Rod Holder, 257mm and 40mm Bore RWB2806
Polished Stainless Steel Marine Side-Mount Rod Holder, 257mm and 40mm Bore
The RWB2806 is a polished stainless-steel rod holder for side mounting, with stainless mounting brackets and a gimbal in the base. It can be installed vertically or at a chosen angle to suit the fishing position. A rubber insert at the top provides a protective contact surface for the rod, while the side-mounted arrangement avoids the large recessed opening needed by a flush holder.
Choosing and using this product
Plan the position with a rod in the holder before drilling. Check that the reel does not foul the side of the boat and that the handle can be lifted out in one clear movement. A vertical position may suit storage, while an angled position changes the direction of the rod tip; choose the orientation around the actual cockpit layout rather than the holder alone.
Select a sound mounting surface with room for the complete bracket footprint. Check behind the panel for wiring, hoses and other equipment, then choose suitable fasteners and backing for the construction. A thin panel may need additional support. Trial-fit the holder, mark the holes from the actual part and avoid tightening fasteners so far that the mounting surface or bracket distorts.
Confirm the rod butt fits the published bore and can engage the base gimbal where applicable. The holder should not be used as a grab handle or boarding step. Check for movement at the bracket before each outing and address any loosening promptly. Rinse away salt and bait residue after use, clean the contact surfaces and inspect for wear before returning the rod to the holder.
Leave the rubber top insert accessible for regular cleaning and inspection, particularly where grit can collect against the rod handle.
