How To Mount Fishing Rod Holder On Kayak?

To install rod holders on a kayak, follow these steps:

1. Install a backing plate for additional support. If you can reach the inside of the hull, use stainless steel bolts and lock nuts. If not, use pop rivets. Close the bottom of a flush mount rod holder with a rubber bearing cap for a trailer hub. Fold adjustable rod holders flat for transport. Attach an adjustable rod holder to a gear track or deck mount to keep the rods away from the water and in reach.

2. Place rod holders behind the seat for transportation, while those ahead of the seat are mostly for transportation.

3. Discover the ultimate guide on mounting a fishing rod holder on a kayak, including flush mount and trolling rod holders. Explore various options tailored to different fishing styles.

4. Drill a hole in the hull, set the well nut in place, and screw the accessory into the well nut. As the bolt is tightened, the rubber scrunches up into a doughnut on the underside of the hull.

5. The most common place to install flush mount rod holders is behind the cockpit. Decide what angle you want to put on them.

6. Connect the rod-holders (the 1x1x34 tees) to the 45 degree elbows by a 2 length of 34 PVC. Cut these by clamping the pipe in your Workmate and cutting the pipe.
