[QUOTE="chevyrulz, post: 378654, member: 10914"] I made use of the existing holes in the rear deck for the installation of 2 flush mounted, vertical rod holders. Here's the port side before & after:[img]https://s17.postimg.org/4n29m58j3/image.jpg[/img] [img]https://s17.postimg.org/6y0bqbjan/image.jpg[/img] starboard side:[img]https://s17.postimg.org/dxedpoj8v/image.jpg[/img] [img]https://s17.postimg.org/tp9ecq4bz/image.jpg[/img] this is the original hole the factory had plugged with a plastic plug: [img]https://s17.postimg.org/jx24tc41b/image.jpg[/img] necessary diameter traced in green sharpie after foam was removed to the depth of the rod holder: [img]https://s17.postimg.org/fdpw7tm5r/image.jpg[/img] used a jig saw with a bi-metal blade to enlarge the hole... didn't bother plumbing them for drainage because there was an inch of standing water in the hole as it sat from the Alumacraft factory designed hole with a plastic plug n it...I used a stick of 3/4" pvc pipe and a flathead screw driver to remove some foam til the rod holders just bottomed out, then attached em with 3/16" aluminum pop rivets just like the front hatch [/QUOTE]
