Montauk 17 OEM Rod Holders

Postby Phil T » Sun Nov 10, 2019 10:04 am

There are two off-the-shelf alternatives sources for rod holders similar to the classic MONTAUK 17 white PVC rod holders. The OEM holder is mounted flush to the blocks so you may need to modify the holder below to match the alignment of the existing holders.

You can also fabricate the rod holders from PVC (1 1/2 x 14", 200 PSI), Use [heat and] a wine bottle [as a form] to create the flare.
