50eggs Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Has anyone replaced the poly/plastic console rod holders on an older Redfisher (mine is a 2003 16'). I don't need the brackets, just the bolt through tubes that look like this: https://www.amazon.com/TACO-Metals-Thru-Bolt-Mounting-Hardware/dp/B00JGX7F9Q These look like they would work, just not sure if the through bolt holes would match up, etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurem Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 50eggs, I took mine off several years ago and replaced them with metal ones from TACO. If I can find them in the shed they are yours. dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Not sure on the TACOs but I got some from Boat Outfiters that were a direct fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50eggs Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Lurem, That's very kind of you. Don't go to too much trouble though. Mulligan, I will check on the ones from Boat Outfitters. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurem Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I looked in most of my J.I.C. (just in case) stash but could not find the rod holders. I will keep looking and if I see them I will send you a pm. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50eggs Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Don't worry about it, Lurem. I appreciate the offer. It does look like the units from Boat Outfitters will work. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthree3 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I replaced mine with tacos and will check the hole spacing and part number tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wthree3 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Sorry this took so long. The part number I bought matches the one on Amazon. PO4-011W The hole spacing is 6 1/4". I might be very slightly off on that because it's tough to measure once installed. However, on mine I had to slot the lower mounting hole slightly (about 3/16" higher) to fit the spacing of my rod rack. Actually, you can drill a new upper or lower hole to fit any spacing needed. Add a washer under the screw head if needed. Just remember, on the lower hole, don't stray too far from the original because you'll need to get a screwdriver on the fastener through the provided access hole on the front. Top one is no problem because of the big slot where the reel sits. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50eggs Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thank you very much wthree3. I figure if I have to drill a hole or two its not the end of the world. I appreciate all the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
