Anyone mounted fishing poles in their ski locker? I was thinking of one of those cheap foam insert types that hold 5-6 rods (like link) along the starboard side of the locker to hold them for transport and storage, than adding nicer additional holders to the tower so they can stay out during the day.

I have three of these. Each mounted to 1/2" Starboard with SS Screws. Did this as an interim solution and to see if it worked. I Then used the 3M tape to adhere them to the side of the ski locker. They worked very well last year. Only issue was when I need to use the ski locker to hold The super Mable or other things dependent on the trip.

About the same as what I got. I thought I might have issues with wet gear in there during the day, hence the exterior holders as well.

@HangOutdoors When you are done jackin around with your steering cables, can you snap a pic? Lol

No rush. Cables and trolling motors first.

I like that, def stealing that idea. I don't have the pole, but probably will store my gaff there.
I put a couple of those felt pads you put on the legs of chairs on the backside of them to prevent scratching the inside of the locker.
