Checked Lee's Tackle, just not sure which style to match. Lee's was supplier to BW factory?? Edited by rfich on 04/22/12 - 12:15 PM

However, if it doesn't say Lee's, then it probably isn't.... Check Perko here: http://perko.com/catalog/category/fis...equipment/ On earlier Outrages, Lee's was used....

(Dont want to drill new holes in boat if I can avoid) None of the companies found a match. Any other manufacturers out there that I may have missed? Existing rod holder dimensions are: length = 8 1/2" diameter = 1 5/8" c-c of aft screw holes = 2 9/16" c-c from aft screw holes to single forward screw hole = 3" Thanks for your time.

Whaler probably changed sources over the years. Will try to post a photo to my personal page tomorrow. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

(Perko has added a cap) Part is a Perko 1205DP0CHR Rod Holder. This chapter is closed. Thanks all for your time.

Boston Whaler did not seal the edges for the cut outs (gas fill, rod holders, rigging cutout in the deck etc.) 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
