I've got a set of driftmaster tip savers on the drivers side of my rig. My 1198 is mounted on a ram mount and I have one of the medium length arms on it so that it sticks straight up between my rods while they are laying in the holders. Sometimes I will turn the holders so the rods hang out over the side of the boat instead of inside it. There is a pretty good bend down the length of my rods due to the curve of the gunnel and I have had not problem. My tips stick past the transom as well.
