I did a diy pole mount I found on YouTube from KansasAnglingExperience. I’ll link the video if you want to check it out, it’s in his complete install video but worked out very well for me!

I saw a Venzo bench mount bike repair stand on amazon that i think would work really good as a pole mount holder. I thought about buying one myself & installing it by the helix & garmin at the bow & it would make it a lot closer to the trolling motor than the front of the passenger rod locker which would be easier to line up on structure & also more accurate to cast to fish or structure either one. They also have one that the actual head unit where it clamps resembles the seelite a lot.
Got my seelite Friday only waited 6 days
Version 2.0 stainless. Much smoother and stiffer than my PVC version. Might order another dry run bearing block I used on the pvc version to slow and hold the rotated position better. Had to drill that block out to accommodate the OD of the 3/4 pvc conduit so it is too large for 1” stainless tube now.

Well i ordered the bike stand so i'll find out how good of a pole mount they make.
I made this one to try the pole option (I've gone back to trolling motor) and it just clamps to gunnel. There's a release button that allows the pole to rotate and lock in at different angles or just pull off and the base remains on gunnel.

This is the one I ordered. Supposed to be pretty sturdy so we’ll see how it goes. I’ll put a locking collar above & below to clamp around the pole & probably use Velcro or something like that on the quick clamp screw to be 100% sure that it doesn’t open unless I want it open. Should work pretty well though.
