I notice it's not a straight angle, inside of the boat to place a side mount rod holder, from the console to the back of the boat. Anyone have pictures of their modifications?

As far as I know the Montauk only had the rod holders in the RPS and rod holder in the cushions for the cooler seat. Any other ones on the boat were rail mounted, probably Lee's. Lee's no longer makes the clamp on ones, but do make a very nice rail mounted set that works well for fishing and trolling.

I feel that if a big strike or the weight of a reel/rod, like a 50W, might not be strong enough. Wanted to place this on the side gunnels. Which i could mount a flush rod holder.

There is no wood backing behind the glass on the side of the boat. The rod acts like a lever and you will lose your rod too.

Member Personal Page Project Albums Posts: 2975 Comments: 3 Joined: 11/04/05	you can go with the west marine version http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/...sNum=10800 Tom is correct, there is no wood backing so for the stability and safety of your rods, I would suggest a rail mount version. If you don't like the Lee's, West Marine has a version http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/...sNum=10800

Member Personal Page Posts: 369 Comments: 0 Joined: 12/14/09	I have had that problem where the rail mount rod holder spun around toward the water and almost lost the rod. Some rail mount rod holders can be adjusted so you can mount them on the vertical (up and down part ) part of your side rails. I have some gold taco rail mounted holders and also some vintage lee rail mounted holders that I use that would probably hold up to the kind of punishment you will be putting them through. Another cheaper option would be to mount a pipe to the vertical part of your side rails with good stainless hose clamps. And always use safety ropes incase the rod holders fail. Shaka.
