C.E. Smith 15-Degree Flush Mount Rod Holder - 9 inch

The C.E. Smith 15-Degree Flush Mount Rod Holder - 9 inch is a 15 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 15 degree angle tips the rod out slightly from vertical, a good middle ground for trolling while keeping rods close to the boat. 316 stainless steel is the marine grade that resists rust and pitting in saltwater far better than 304.

A stainless gimbal bar welded in place holds up to downriggers and heavy tackle. The white vinyl liner runs the full length of the tube and is keyed to the gimbal so it doesn't spin. The wide, low-profile cap adds mounting strength and a clean look on the gunwale. A flush mount sits low on the gunwale, so it doesn't snag lines or clothing when the holder is empty.

It mounts through the gunwale with the included hardware. 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.
