Key Performance Features

• Screwless Mounting: Provides a sleek, low-profile appearance with no visible hardware. It is secured from beneath the gunnel using a heavy-duty backing plate and a large brass nut.

• 316L Stainless Steel: Constructed from high-grade, marine-polished stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater.

• Cast Bottom with Drain: Features a solid cast bottom with a 1/2" NPT threaded drain. This allows you to attach a hose and route water directly to the bilge, keeping your dry storage areas truly dry.

• Integrity Liner: Includes a UV-resistant black vinyl liner that runs the full length of the tube to protect your expensive rod butts from scratches and vibrations.

• Super Tough Gimbal Bar: A 1/4" wide x 1/2" tall gimbal bar is welded into the base to lock your rod in place and prevent it from rotating while trolling.

• No-Logo Cap: The cap is polished to a mirror finish without any stamped branding, maintaining a custom-built look for your boat.

⚠️ Installation Requirement

Because this rod holder is tightened from underneath using a large hex nut, standard wrenches often won't fit in the tight space between the hull and the liner. It is highly recommended to use the C.E. Smith 53679 Installation Socket to properly torque the unit and ensure a watertight seal against the gunnel.

Are you replacing existing "screw-in" rod holders?

If you're upgrading from standard holders, the screwless backing plate might require a slightly larger hole than your current ones.
