I'm sure it will bend. Try EMT conduit instead.
Has anyone tried using 1/2 copper water line? Too flimsy? I need to 90 degree up over gunnel for leg room. Currently have gas pipe just heavy and too bulky for off on removal for traveling. I know 3/4 would work just not happy about the diameter of the pipe. Do you think the 1/2 will bend if I hang up in a brush pile? ( Just not stout enough)I figure someone here is in the know!

Copper is too soft, that's why it bends so easy. I have used EMT and you can bend it with one of those benders they sell for conduit.
What about 1/2 stainless tubing. Very strong

Thanks. Ya'll just want to save as much money as I can so i can have the rod holders I want...will keep searching. The conduit might be the way to go borrow a bender to get the holder over gunel then up, to give me plenty leg room!

square tubing might be an option that is cheaper than stainless
