Toe Kick / Fishing Ruler

[Tunachaser93]

Hi All,

Has anyone found a EVA foam fish ruler that fits on the toe kick of a 1801? All the ones I see online are too tall and would hang over the top. I am curious as to where others have put fish rulers on their boats.

Our fish-ruler is installed on the port-side toe-kick. It's made of Starboard. I installed it there to be able to lay the fish beside it on the deck, and it's right near both the sea-water and fresh-water wash-down hose.

Thanks that looks great! Did you have to cut it, or is it the same height as the toe kick. I just do not want it to hang over the edge at all.

I did not have to cut it. I was a perfect size!☺

Something to think about when installing these type measuring devises. Yes...It will NOT be centered, But for conveyance and quick measuring. You want it to measure from a bulkhead. Shove the fishes nose against the bulkhead and lay the tail. If you do not do that....Then your struggling to align BOTH ends of the fish.
