C.E. Smith 30° Stainless Steel Flush Mount Rod Holder

The C.E. Smith 30° Stainless Steel Flush Mount Rod Holder is a 30 degree, 70 Series flush mount rod holder in 316 stainless steel. Its tube is 9 inches deep with a 1-5/8 inch inside diameter. A 30 degree angle is the most common gunwale setting, spreading trolling lines away from the boat and from each other. 316 stainless steel is the marine grade that resists rust and pitting in saltwater far better than 304.

The rounded cast bottom has a 1/2 inch pipe-threaded drain, so you can run a drain tube or leave it finished where the underside shows. A tough stainless gimbal bar holds up to downriggers and heavy tackle. A keyed black vinyl liner protects the rod's finish and stays in place against the gimbal. A flush mount sits low on the gunwale, so it doesn't snag lines or clothing when the holder is empty.

It fits a 2-3/16 inch hole and installs without screws through the cap, using the included backing plate and installation nut with C.E. Smith's #53679 installation socket. Check for clearance under the gunwale before drilling. Seal the flange with a marine sealant when installing to keep water out of the gunwale. Browse more rod holders.
