rod holder installation

[tmcdaniel]

I got my new rod holders yesterday. 2 sets of hitecs. Does anyone have some advise you would give before I get started on the installation. Good fishing tmcdaniel

Check for trolling motor clearance when stowed.

Like JTM says -check for clearance with troller when stowed as well as while being stowed and deployed. Test fit them while your in fishing position ( in your seat of choice ) and try rod removal to simulate fishing from your seated position before final mount. By the way -you'll love the holders. Good luck

The virtual fishing trip in the drive is a great idea. I had my holders all set to be anchored down, then climbed in the boat to make sure and I'm glad I did. I made several changes after sitting and checking out the clearances. Don't over torque the screws, make sure you have the right pilot hole size. And you're gonna love em.
