Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a compatible Scotty mounting system, as this unit (349-BK) does not include one. Secure the rod holder onto your chosen mount using the integrated attachment point. For maintenance, simply rinse the unit with fresh water after each trip, especially when used in saltwater, to remove salt buildup and debris. Regularly inspect the gimbal pin for signs of wear and ensure the mounting screws are tightened to avoid any potential vibration loosening during transport.
