I've had 3 on board for years stuck in the under gunnel rod holders. I just took them out and cleaned them up and used some of that Boeshield spray that you guys talked me into. With a little fine steel wool and Boeshield they look like new.
I put back 2 of them. One was too similar to the other so I left it in the garage. I was trying to come up with something better but just decided to leave them where they were.

Andrew886 - I made them. They are FDM/3D printed. If you are interested in some let me know and I can make some more. Man they are slick. Let’s se some more pictures of them, maybe before they were installed. What else could they hold? Rag’s

The slot for the pliers could be any shape to hold other things, such as a knife, dehooker... Attachment DeletedHere is a picture that shows some dimensions. The rod holders i mount these on are just under 2" (1.950"). Attachment Deleted Andrew - If you check the diameter of the rod holder and that the 3.1" (center of rod holder to center of opening for the pliers) is correct i can print some more. Also the size of the rectangular cutout. It is setup for the penn pliers i use. All those numbers are easy to adjust and can be made to fit whatever pliers/tools/knife you want.

This year proved to be one of expensive upgrades, but I’ll highlight a few of the more affordable ones. The first was replacing my worn ttop with with a new Weblon Ttop from G2 Outfitters. Very wellmade, relatively easy to replace, and looks great. Good looking projects Andrew. I used G2 for my replacement top too. He was great to work with.

I’ve got an idea for someone, who has a great gaff storage project? I troll 5-6 lines and keep 2 gaffs. 6’ ends up in random rod holders and never in reach when you want it. I keep a 4’ hooked over one of the ttop tubes next to the helm so I can grab it on the way to the action. Someone must have something better! Don't know if its better but here is where i store mine. Attachment DeletedWhen were fishing and need it to be easy to grab i put the hook in one of the t-top rod holders and let the handle rest against the front of the leaning post backrest. If its not too rough it stays in place well and is easy to grab when needed. Originally i had a mount that was attached to the forward starboard leg for the t-top that would hold the gaff. I ended up not liking it there.

I think this has become a strong tread that should keep gaining tracking after the drawing. How couldn't it. Just wish some of the newer members would contribute. We have 14 entered and about 140 members that's only 10% of members sharing their ideas. Just think how much more is out there, that's why I think this will be around for some time.
