fin-addict Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Looking to add two rod holders to the forward bulkhead of front deck. Seen this type on many pathfinders. They have a mounting bracket that mounts to the surface and the rod holder has a groove slide the slides over the mounting bracket. Any help would be appreciated.

justfish Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Fin , not what you are looking for exactly but another good option I did on mine was Mate Series 0* rod/cup holders right behind your rod box cushions. Works great for fishing off front deck and still being able to utilize the t top shade and get to em quick. When running beach, I usually leave jig rod loaded in it, again for a quick grab. Then hold beer at the sandbar. I love em. Put em on all my boats in same spot. I marked it on yours. I’ll see if I can find a pic of mine. Im so jealous of your stand through top!

fin-addict Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Just, thank you. Know the ones your talking about, very good. If I can’t find what I’m looking for, might just install one at the bow fwd of the anchor locker. Have done that before and worked out great. Best to you and the family.

Bamaskeet Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I mounted 4 rod holders, two sets of two, on the forward bulkhead. They work great most of the time but you can’t keep rods in those holders while you are casting on the front deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you thru bolt them into the lg storage compartment and was there much give on the inside when tightening down. Pics if possible, thanks.

Bamaskeet Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 As I recall that bulkhead is 3” thick, so there is no give. I bought the rod holders on eBay. On one boat I was able to buy two rod holder groups. On the other, I bought a four rod holder group and cut it in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 You can see the rod holders in the bottom of this picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Have used V-Lock holders as the rod holders can be removed if desired leaving the base plate. I think Boat Outfitters has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
