    Default Drift Master again


    Are the bases easily removed? I have been thinking of trying them but one of them would have to go where my trolling motor sits in its stored position.

    All I can say is I like the Bee Ready rod holders best! See Link if interested.

    The bases are screwed on, so I don't think that would be considered easily removable. We do make flush mount bases that should be low enough not to interfere with your trolling motor.

    But do the uprights come out of the base easily? Its hard to tell from the pics.

    Yes, the rodholder itself, threads into the base, easy install or removal. I take mine off every return trip to put the boat cover on.

    Thanks Shellback. thats what I was looking for. What does your bases attach to. Fiberglass? Did you have to add any support underneath or will the 3 screws hold everything OK. They just look "flimsy" to me but then I've never had a close up look of them installed.

    Bee Ready , here's a pic of mine and in the stored position it would not interfere with your motor ......





    There are like 50 some mounting options , and yes some of them are flush mount and removeable . My brother is just looking over the catalog to order a set for his canoe !!

    Nothing flimsy about them, rock solid. Mine are installed with machine screws and nylon locknuts thru an aluminum gunwale. If mounting in fiberglass, I'd want to use wood backing under the fiberglass. Your hull will fail before the rodholder or base.
