Wahoossi Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I had to spend 5 hours attending a virtual medical conference ( Urolift BPH Summit) so I decided , since they couldn’t see me, I could work on my Redfisher 16 while I listened to the conference on a Bluetooth speaker. I washed the boat , Woody waxed the non skid and metal, lightly compounded the hull and added a ceramic coating, filled in a few gel coat cracks , added a Battery Tender Plug in anticipation of finally getting my Terrova Riptide (hopefully) , compounded and waxed the console, and put on a new Hewes Sticker I bought on EBay. I drank a bit of coffee to get all of this done and the conference came and went and I was still working . One thing I couldn’t fix was my starboard forward rod tubes. Even had the wife out to help me. All four tubes have broken off and dropped into the forward compartment. I tried placing sticks into the holes and threading the tubes over the sticks but that went nowhere. I could cut the existing tubes in pieces and remove them and I guess try to find new ones, maybe on Flounder-Pounder, anyone have any ideas? I have fairly cheap rods (mostly Ugly Sticks) with good reels (Shimano Stradics) but I like having the tubes for protection on both sides. I usually bring a fly rod with me as well to mess around with . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 You need an endoscope to see what is going on and to replace the rod tubes. They use to be expensive, but now you just buy the cable and use your smart phone to view the video. https://my-premiumgifts.com/products/smartphone-waterproof-endoscope-inspection-camera-for-android-devices?msclkid=418203ae5e0813e1eb1c5c3b8dcb0456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
