Here is pics of how I mounted rod holders to my jon boat sides early last yr, and I used stainless steel screws with red lock tite to lock them into the aluminum top of the sides and a thick small piece of aluminum screwed into the mount as well as the top of the side. Never has come loose as I drive 7 miles down very bumpy gravel, then chip and sealed county roads before getting to a smooth highway. Name:  IMG_0458.jpg
