Table mount rod holder

This was inspired by someone here or on the FB page but I don't have the original post to give credit... sorry.

Anyway, we are headed to Destin in a couple weeks and wanted to be able to do a little fishing/trolling while there. Put this together with about $30 of material and an hour and a half of time. Should do the trick for the trip!

Hadn’t thought of using that for a rod holder. Nice work

What size PVC pipe did you use?
Does it fit snugly into the table holder post?

 

[Jameson Clark]

1.5" PVC. It slides right in but isn't really snug.

Love it, I was planning to try and duplicate the plate on the bottom and build off that. Using the existing mounting pipe is a great idea. with it being a loose fit did you run into any trouble with the rod holder pivoting inside the stainless pipe?

I did. Ended up drilling a hole and putting a pin in it. Ironically enough, it's the original pin for the tongue that I removed when I put a lock on it instead.

I'm looking around trying to find a source for the grey flange ring that screws to the bottom of the table. If you could find those as a seperate peice your mounting options would be endless!
