Ideas from fellow Parker People!!

[Keith FDNY]

Well i need some ideas from you guys/ladies on here,this is the deal i have rod holders i got that i want to mount them in lower cabin on the walls but there is the contour shape to the walls and walls have the ulpostery on them so any ideas or thought that will make this work,i dont want to remove the rods all the time so i need it to be strong and i dont want to bolt it through the boat body cause then you will see it on the outside!!!

Epoxy blocks of wood and screw the rod holders to those. Paint the wood blocks with some of my Parker color matched paint and you're good to go.

Then screw holders to the starboard.

How would i get the wood blocke to stick to the side of the walls in lower cabin?They have the carpet on them

I believe you'd need to cut out the carpet. I'd cut it a little smaller than the wood so you won't see the cutout.

Send a PM to TimC2520.

Keith,

I purchased the same holders, only the 4 rod (smaller one). I through bolted those and 5200'd teak ones inside the cabin, see below.

Keith, If you don't want to through-bolt, use wood blocks that have been coated with West Systems (or equiv) epoxy to seal them, then as 96TL says, cut out a square of carpet and bond the wood to the hull.

Use thickened epoxy or 5200 to bond the wood to the fiberglass, let dry, then attach the rod holders.
The wood blocks won't have to be too thick to allow for the proper stand-off of the rod holders. :wink:

Measure 3 times, cut once.

Good luck!
