Installed the rod holder on my open gunnel boat and it fits perfectly. The rounded bottom keeps the rod from hitting my shin when I move around. The vinyl liner protects my fishing rod from scratches. It’s sturdy and looks professional.

Great quality and secure fit. The welded joint feels solid and the cap is wide enough to hold my rod firmly. The drain hole is large and stays dry even in rainy conditions.

Works well for my fishing setup. The rounded bottom is a nice touch for safety. A bit heavy for small boats, but worth it for the durability and design.
