Specs:
This hefty stainless steel holder will keep your rod steady whether you're doing some serious trolling or enjoying a recreational day on the water. Part of CE Smith's 70 Series line of 9" long rod holders, this model features a rounded cast bottom with a built-in, threaded drain for attaching a hose to route water into the bilge. The straight angle of the holder ensures that it will take up less room under the gunwale than a rod holder that has a 15-, 20-, or 30-degree angle. When mounted in a flat gunwale, the straight holder will hold your fishing rod in a vertical position.
Using a rod holder over a dry storage area is no longer an issue. This holder has a threaded 3/4" diameter drain built into the bottom. Attach a 3/4" threaded hose barb with a drain hose (not included) to route water into the bilge so the rest of your boat stays dry. The large diameter of the drain helps minimize clogging, which is frequently seen with rod holders that have smaller 1/4" drains.
A smooth, rounded cast bottom is safe for mounting in open gunwales because there are no sharp edges to scrape your shins or to snag your gear.
There's a 1/4" wide x 1/2" tall gimbal bar positioned above the drain that can withstand the harsh conditions that heavy tackle or downrigger mounts can unleash - unlike standard gimbal pins that can get bent or knocked out of place. It's built into the holder and reinforced with welds, making it a virtually indestructible anchor that keeps your rod from spinning inside the holder. This tough gimbal bar also helps boost the overall strength and rigidity of the rod holder.
A protective, UV-resistant vinyl liner keeps your rod free of scratches and scuffs. The liner is notched to fit around the gimbal bar so that it stays in place and won't twist or spin.
Sturdy, Rustproof Stainless Steel Construction
This heavy-duty, 1.2-mm-thick rod holder is made with 316L stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, even when exposed to saltwater. The exterior is polished to create a mirror-like shine that makes an attractive addition to any boat.
The 4-1/2" long x 3-5/8" wide flange is welded to the tube to create a strong connection, and it has a sleek, low-profile design that allows it to sit flush against the gunwale so it won't snag your line. For added strength, use a backing plate (CE53673A - sold separately) with this rod holder to reinforce the mounting area.
Installation requires that a 2" diameter hole be cut into your boat's gunwale to fit the holder. The holder will drop into this hole and then secure flush to your boat with (3) 1/4" bolts or screws (not included).

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this heavy duty stainless steel flush-mount fishing rod holder with the large bottom drain hole. Now this is a heavy-duty flush-mounted rod holder, holds up to one 80 pound-glass fishing pole. This'll let you fish hands free and have multiple lines in the water. The bottom you can see, it is a nice rounded cast bottom. This provides added safety when it's mounted in open gunwales.
That way there's no sharp edges that could scrape your shins or damage your gear. We mentioned the holder is designed to mount into your boat's gunwale. It will require a 2-inch diameter hole for it to fit into. It does attach, if you look up at the mounting flange on the top here, it attaches with the three 1/4-inch bolts or screws. Now those bolts or screws are not included.
You would have to supply those. And when you do install this it does give you a straight angle. It's great for gunwales with limited clearance, requires less space under the gunwale. Now we mentioned at the very bottom they have a 3/4-inch size threaded drain hole. This will let you let you attach a hose barb to it and hose to route the water into the boat.
This is used for mounting the holder over dry storage areas. The threaded hose barb and the hose that's required to route water, those items are sold separately. This is a heavy-duty 316L stainless steel construction. It is rust proof and corrosion resistant. If you notice, the mounting flange is a polished mirror finish, so when this is installed gives you a nice good look on your boat.
It is a wide low-profile flange and that flange is welded to the tube for durability. The dimension on the flange, the width of it is right at 3 5/8 inches. Overall length, 4 1/2 inches. At the very bottom, you might be able to see, going across right there, or if you look down that way, you'll be able to see a bar that goes across. It has a tall built-in gimbal bar in the bottom and that's designed to help keep your rod from spinning when it's installed in there. Also has a nice vinyl lining on the inside here to protect your rod from any scratches or scuffs. Few specs on this, the length or height of this, it's gonna be right at 9 inches. The tube inner diameter, it's right at 1 5/8 inches. And the tube outer diameter, which we already mentioned, is 2 inches. But that should do it for the review on this heavy-duty stainless steel flush mount fishing rod holder with the large bottom drain hole..

Rod holder is heavy duty just what I need. Shipping was quick to get here.
I bought 4 (and the backing plates) to go in my skiff. They look good so far and I'm sure they will handle the Ono Mahi Aku and Ahi that I target here in Kona.
Bought 2 of the 15 deg rod holders, haven’t installed yet but the quality seems to be very high. Will probably buy a couple the 30 deg as well. Also would like to say this is my first purchase from trailer, they came up in a google search, and wow they were the lowest price for these particular rod holders, also shipping was fast and free.
Thanks etrailer!!!!

I ordered 9 CE Smith rod holders from etrailer. 5 15 degree units for the transom wall, 2 0 degree units and 2 30 degree units for the side gunwale walls. If you are a saltwater fisherman, you know that the CE Smith rod holders are "the good stuff". But most places wanted $80 per rod holder! Keep in mind that a reasonable quality rod holder like amarine-made and other similar Chinese no name brands can be bought from other online retailers for $17 per unit. etrailer had the CE Smith version on sale at around fifth dollars per unit with no tax and free shipping. This is far from cheap but by going with etrailer I saved $180 and that was enough to push me toward the higher quality gear. After all, the rod holder bling is one of the first things that someone will see when they board a sportfishing yacht.
etrailer handled my order with good communication and follow up not only by email but by phone call as well. Pretty impressive in this day and age where you usually can't speak to a person about your order even if you call.
This is a great product for a good pric e!
Outstanding service from E trailer, superior product from CE Smith. Highly recommended.
Great customer service , second time ordering from E-Trailer
As advertised. Solid.
Would benefit from a gasket rather just relying on caulk for deck sealing.
Thank you
