Does your outboard still fit on?

I use these, they are a very simple idea.

Just chuck them in a pan of hot water and they will fit and mould to any diameter rail or A frame from 20-50mm.

google rail rest for info.

cool that looks the biz there, i like the hot water trick ,my pain was fitting the rod holder bar ,it cost me a little more then i expected, well the holders did, i did look on e bay and saw some velcro ones that tape on ,but i would of thought that after a bit of geting wet well ,but hopfully what i have done should all work and i can move them about and change there dirction well 2 of them anyway,having a small sib was a real issue in designing how everything goes and having as much space as can be,,,,,,be could to see a section on here of peoples inventions,,,,,,,,ive seen some cracking good ideas as well ,so keep them coming folks

That be right, once anchor droped we then set up our rods then fit the bar ,still hold the rod at times as well tho ,nice to feel the bites
