seabirdb Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 I just purchased a 18 hpx and decided to add these signature brand rod holders upon doing a forum search. I just need someone to measure theirs because they come with a 12 or 14 inch backing mount. Would like to know what size to order.

Tender Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Not sure if it matters to you or not but I ordered from TNT Custom Boatworks and they offer a cup holder welded on. Great addition and TNT makes them for Maverick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabirdb Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Yes, TNT were the first I called but there is a 4-6 week wait and theirs were $260. Signature Marine said that they had them in stock. I don’t think that there is much difference between the two. I could be wrong.

seabirdb Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Yes I called Signature Marine and very nice people. I asked if I could pick them up and they said they only ship them, which is fine. I just need to tell them the size 12 or 14 inch backing. Im thinking 12 like I had on my Hewes. Im hoping someone can measure the one on their Hpx 18 and let me know. I might just go this weekend to my nearest Maverick dealer and measure them.

Thanks Good Idea....yes, I bought a pair for my MA17 a while back...I can't remember whether it was 12 or 14....you can adjust it...you just want It to be sure they fit in the color and are not sitting on the deck....this is a function on how long your rod butt are in size....

fin-addict Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Just use fender washers on each bolt. Just installed a set on console of 18’ RF this weekend. Always used them as backing plated when possible depending on load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Crato Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 My bolts are 12” apart but no backing plate used, just a locknut and fender washers. These are factory on each side of my console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabirdb Posted September 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thanks Joe, I’m going to order the 12 inch model. I’m thinking that’s the spacing that will work best for the console. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
