Where can I get rod holders like this?
I wouldn't mind a couple of these on my tubes but no idea who'd make/sell them. The ones in the pic are on a cheap and nasty inflatable.
They'd probably be useful for holding up a tent too.

I,d suggest you e-mail Henshaws or paul Tilley with the picture .Good potential for a shelter as you pointed out.What make of boat is it on that would also help to find them.

The boat it came off is one of these- a danger to itself and the occupants...

I've no intention of using the actual ones in the picture-if they are the same standard as the inflatable then they'll last 10 minutes.
Does anyone make anything similar?

I got these from a Fish tackle shop in Porthmadog they just bolt on to the transom or any other vertical surface and they were about 15 quid

ROd holders
These look like they work. A close up inspection and it looks like vice bolts are at best galvanised 1/4 inch and starting to show some signs of rust,
May be wrong but I would change these to stainless too.
Besides, if they are neat you can bolt on full time.
Whatabout bolting on to A-frame, well out of the way!!!

rod holders
I normaly take em off and wash and clean them but after last outing thought i would be going out again a week later, that was in September !! but due to over running house Building/renovation work only just brought boat home from wales for the winter
Hence the rust and hence the need to change the wheela and the bearings
see other thread

Those would be easy enough to have made by a welder. Piece of stainless tube, a bit of flat stock for the clamp, and a stainless bolt with a finger tab welded on. Reinforce the tube to bar weld with an L bracket of more bar stock.
The flare at the mouth might be bit of work, OTOH, I don't see why it's all that necessary (I think it's primarily for drunk fishermen who can't see straight enough to hit the unflared tube.)
Might have to talk to my welder buddy about this. After he makes my tank racks, that is...

Its ok Andy, its not a confessional dude, I didnt know they were yours, I just cannot understand why a manufacturer will use different metals in salty environment, it causes electrolysis and metal literally flakes off leaving rust on the under metal, Galvo or not!
Anyway, as Jay says, they are easy to make in Stainless, no moving parts, Inverted u to fit over transom and Rod holders Sticking out of it at an angle.
Slip em over transom and leave alone.
PS I still allow no smelly fish on board my boat......, thats what friends are for (Their boats)>
