Fish-On Compatible Fishing Rod Holder Mount for 1.5in x .25in Gunnel Rails on Aluminum Drift Boats

Print Model upside down and it will print without supports. This is a fishing rod holder mount I designed for my 1986 Alumaweld drift boat, and it works with Fish-on rod holders like these: https://amzn.to/2L7l6sp. It allows you to mount to the gunnel rail without drilling holes in your boat. It works great; we've been using them for a while now. Once the slot is dropped over the gunnel rail, two bolts pinch the rail but also pin it in place so that it cannot fall off or slide away. This makes it easy to relocate your rod holders in a hurry without drilling new holes. This design might work on Willie, Koffler, newer, or older Alumaweld and other aluminum drift boats with similar size gunnel rails. I plan to make some that fit different boats, so if you have one and can send me the rail dimensions, I'll be happy to adjust the design. This one is for use in a 1.5in x .25in (1-1/2X1/4in) or 7mm x 50mm gunnel rail. These might also work with scotty-style rod holders; I have yet to confirm, but it should be close. This uses an M6x30mm bolt like these: http://amzn.to/2zfTGea. With an M6 nylock nut like these: http://amzn.to/2A6UmE7 or these http://amzn.to/2zgxvVn, you can also use a knob like this on the back for quick adjustment: http://amzn.to/2BgeQdz or these zinc ones are nice https://amzn.to/2LKLJEy. You can also use a 1/4in-20x1.25 bolt and matching nut or knob.
