Rugged construction and weather-ready design

This cap is part of Attwood's stainless steel rod holder family, offered in 30°, 15°, and 0° configurations. A UV-resistant polymer liner guards the finish on your rod and reel from sun exposure and salt spray, while a UV-resistant cap gasket seals the tube when not in use. The flush-mount profile and oval flange deliver a clean, integrated look on the gunwale, helping to reduce snag hazards and streamline maintenance.

• UV-resistant liner protects rod and reel finishes from sun and salt
• Cap gasket seals the tube to keep out moisture and debris
• Open-end series compatibility for common open-water setups
• Drainage opening supports 14-18 NPT fittings for enclosed gunwales

Durable by design, the cap stands up to the rigors of daily boating while remaining easy to wipe down after a day on the water. The combination of corrosion resistance and protective insulation helps maintain a tidy, functional gunwale without adding bulk.
