Specs:
This heavy-duty stainless steel holder is designed to withstand the pressure of big game fishing with up to a 130-lb class rod. Part of CE Smith's 80 Series line of extra-large, 10-1/2" long rod holders, this model features an oversized flange and a rounded cast bottom with a built-in, threaded drain for attaching a hose to route water into the bilge. The straight angle takes up less room under the gunwale than a rod holder with 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 1/2" diameter drain built into the bottom. Attach a 1/2" 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 5-1/8" long x 4-1/4" 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 (CE53683A - sold separately) with this rod holder to reinforce the mounting area.
Installation requires that a 2-1/4" 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.

The very bottom has a nice rounded cast bottom, which provides added safety when mounted in open gunwales. When it's rounded off like this, there's no sharp edges that'll scrape your shins or damage your gear.
The holder is designed to mount into your boat's gunwale. It will require a 2 1/4 inch diameter hole to be cut into the gunwale for this to fit into, and it does attach, if you look at the mounting flange, has a spot for three 1/4 inch bolts or screws to install this. Now, those bolts or screws are not included, you would have to supply those. This is a nice straight angle when it's installed, it's great for a gunwales with limited clearance, requires less space under the gunwale. We mentioned the drain hole at the bottom.
It is a 3/4 inch size threaded drain hole, this will let you screw in a hose barb and then attach a hose to it to route the water into the bilge. This will be used for mounting the holder over dry storage areas. You thread the hose barb in there, attach the hose to route the water away from any of the dry areas. Now, those items are sold separately. This is a heavy-duty 316L stainless steel construction, it is rustproof and corrosion resistant.
If you look at the mounting flange at the top here, has a nice polished mirror finish to it, so when this is installed, this gives you a nice good look to your boat. It is a wide, low-profile flange, and that flange is welded to the tube for durability. Few dimensions on the flange itself, the length of it, 5 1/8 inches long, the width of it is 4 1/4 inches wide. Also, at the bottom, if you look in the hole there, you'll see a bar going across. That's a tall built-in gimbal bar in the bottom, this will help keep your rod from spinning, and it also has a vinyl liner in there, which will protect your rod from any scratches or scuffs.
Few dimensions on this, the height or the length, it's gonna be right at 10 1/2 inches. The tube inner diameter, it's right at 1 7/8 inches, and the tube outer diameter we mentioned is 2 1/4 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..
