I have a Hobie Revolution and am in need of a rod holder to mount in the cockpit. I would prefer the rocket launcher style. If anyone has something to sell at a reasonable price, please let me know.

Bob,

They sell them on the online store here for about $33.

I picked on up with 4 of the blind rivets.
Easy install, about 10 minutes.

Do you know where you want to mount the rod holder?

A popular place to mount Ram-Tube rocket launchers is on the gunnels, if thats where you had intended to mount it be sure to order the
model with the 2" x 3" rectangle base.

Because of the way I store my kayak on the garage door roller frame, I cannot have anything that sticks above the gunnels. I am thinking of mounting my rod holder in the otherwise useless cup holder. Hopefully, mounted in this position the ball will not extend over the gunnel.

Assuming that this works, I plan to make a real cup, (beer) holder that mounts to the ball for those non-fishing days.

Has anyone seen the ball mounted in this position?
