I bought a 1998 Justice 17, and I am now installing under-gunwale rod racks. I could use a few measurements:

--from the transom quarter seat to the center of the rod rack;

--from the top of the quarter transom seat to the center of the rubber gromets that accept the rod tips;

--from the sides of the hull to the center of the gromets.

Thanks--Ed Stone

Thanks Picflight,
That will be a great help.
I noticed the strap that keeps the transom seat hatch down.
Does the strap go through the slot on the seat or does it attach on top of the seat. I had to replace the hatches and I made straps.I routed the straps under the hatch and attached with screws.But that still allows the hatch to be caught by wind while trailering.

Thanks again Ed Stone

Hello Ed,

The straps go over the seat and is secured with a sex bolt.

Ok, that's a good idea.
Thanks
