Mate Series SS 15-Degree Rod and Cup Holder, Round

The Mate Series Rod and Cup Holder is a 316 stainless flush mount with a round top, a 15 degree rod angle and a 3/8 inch NPT drain fitting.

Fifteen degrees with a round top is the most generally useful of the four Mate combinations, taking the center transom positions where most boats troll from. It is also the easiest to install, since a round cutout comes from a hole saw rather than needing a template and a jigsaw.

Combining rod and cup in one fitting halves the number of holes cut through a gunwale, and every hole in a cored deck is a place water can eventually enter. The 3/8 inch NPT drain takes standard hose so the recess empties overboard rather than into the bilge. Explore more rod holders.
