The bar separates for shipping into 2 sections, so you gotta bolt it back together when you get it.
Sorry for the negative feed back but I want the next person to get it correct... The bar that you bolt back together will bow in the middle with little effort so I had it welded and it seems to hold just fine. I see the new one in the picture has some kind of strap holding the middle from sagging. I also added two straps for the middle support to hold the rods better while going down the lake. This also allows you to store 7'-8' rods if needed.They can be strapped down in two places. The rubber pegs covers need to be the full length of the peg. The way they are now your line will catch on them and you have to fight to get them to come loose. The rod racks are a great idea just need a little fine tuning. The double down seat bracket works great. I like the looks of the new 45* angle rod racks. I talked with your partner about that idea for my boat because mine will hit the passenger in the shoulder going down the lake.
