Correct Lee's Tackle Rod Holders

Member Personal Page Posts: 161 Comments: 2 Joined: 09/12/11	Does anyone with a Montauk 17 have Lee's Tackle rod holders on their port and starboard side railings? I'm trying to figure out which size is correct for my boat. I used the measuring device available on their website, but the measurement tool doesn't even reach the "1" mark on my railings. I've seen them on several Montauks so I know one of their rod holder sizes works.

So, the Lee's Rail Mount Rod Holders you want are for 7/8" to 1" railings. RH552CB - Chrome on Brass http://www.leetackle.com/railmount.htmlmount.html I had a pair on my 1978 Montauk 17' http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/Montau...ar-out.jpg I also have a pair on my 1985 Outrage 18' http://www.whalercentral.com/images/p..._rails.jpg

You can call them, to see if they have any in stock, but they aren't for sale through their online store. Your best chance is to find someone selling them here or on ebay.

Call Lee's, when I started looking a couple years ago, they found 4 in a box in the back room. They may have more but they no longer make the RH552CB rod holders. Short of them finding NOS your best chance is craig's list, ebay or posting a wanted message here and getting lucky.
