Cabin rod holder

[Go Aweigh2452]

Well, I got to thinking how the fishing poles take up the shelf space on the Admirals side of the bunk making it unusable for her. So I cut two 2" holes angled toward the stbd hull so that I could hang fishing rods, thus freeing up shelf space...
I used perko rubber rod holder inserts that fit perfectly in the bored out holes and cover the rat fur edges with the lip of the insert. I cut through the brace that crosses under the bottom section of the window. That brace is 1.5" thick and coated with a layer of fiberglass. I'm not sure I need to reglass the holes since they are inside and no access to the outside... Opinions?

Nice setup, but Diane's not a seafood person and the stinky reels would likely get me in trouble. :)

That's a good use of the space though. I don't see how fiberglassing that would buy you anything but extra effort.

Look's good Doug.

So where do you keep your reels and poles?

I have an 8 rod holder mounted just behind the helm seat. I suspect she wouldn't be too keen on sleeping that close to 'em. :oops:

Seal it with 5200 and call it good. Great use of space, BTW.

I'd use the 4200 but same idea.
