[QUOTE="mmf, post: 228556, member: 4379"] Got my rod tubes finished yesterday evening, made two brackets out of aluminum angle and riveted to the boat to serve as "strap supports" for the tubes. I used large size (1/4") T&B black wire ties to attach the tubes to the brackets. The Thomas & Betts wire ties I used are sunlight resistant and will not rot when exposed to the elements. They also have a SS locking tab on them which lets you really torque down on the strap and hold tightly. I was really wanting to take the boat out for a spin today but I've got to do a little work on my towing vehicle because it's spark knocking, I think I have a knock sensor not working or a defective distributor module, we'll see. :) [/QUOTE]
