Product Information
Full details
This rod holder is for anglers seeking a reliable and versatile solution for securing their fishing rods on various watercraft. Its key benefit is the positive locking mechanism and universal cradle, preventing accidental rod loss during transit or rough conditions. A minor consideration is that while durable, it's constructed from reinforced nylon, which might not appeal to those preferring metal components. It features a universal cradle, a front locking ring, and a combination side/deck mount for flexible installation.

Troubleshooting
Rod holder feels loose after mounting
Ensure all screws and nuts securing the 241 mount are tightened firmly. Check that the rod holder post is fully seated in the mount.
Locking mechanism is stiff
Clean the interior of the holder and the locking ring mechanism with fresh water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary, ensuring it doesn't affect your fishing line.
Rod reel does not fit securely
Verify that the reel stem is not excessively large for the cradle. While universal, extremely oversized reels may not seat perfectly. Ensure the front locking ring is engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The included 241 Combination Side/Deck Mount requires screws (not included) for permanent installation. Determine the desired mounting location on your gunnel or deck, ensuring it is structurally sound. Use the mount's bolting dimensions (1 5/16″ x 3 3/16″) to mark and drill holes. Secure the mount using appropriate stainless steel screws and nuts. Once the mount is fixed, the rod holder post slides into the mount, and can be secured and adjusted.
Compatibility: The universal cradle is designed to hold most standard fishing rod and reel setups. The interior diameter is 1.95″. The 241 mount is compatible with most boat gunnels and decks where screws can be securely fastened.
Care: Clean the rod holder with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater environments, to prevent corrosion and salt buildup. A mild soap can be used for stubborn dirt. Ensure the locking mechanism and cradle move freely. Store in a dry place when not in use.
