Default Re: Looking for Gunwale Rod Racks made of Starboard

I found that the original stock teak rod racks with the connecting shelf where not very efficient as they were bulky, they stuck out on the deck past the gutter and caught many a toes [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
The rod butts remained in place but the rods would bounce out unless you secured them with bungee. I completely removed them and mounted the Tigress Polished S/S type right to the existing inner liner projections that the original racks screwed into. You can still get three on each side even thou I only did two.


The new Taco Snap Hangers are real sweet as they also are polished S/S and have a clean look as the mounting screws are hidden. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
