Flush-mount rod holder

Gunwale and deck rod holders, 30° and 15° rake, on small boats and kayaks.

1Why it fails

What goes wrong with the original.

The flange cracks where it is screwed down, or the tube splits at the cross-pin. Sun does most of the damage; the rest is being stood on.

2 · Material

ASA

Above deck in salt and sun. ASA is hydrophobic and UV-stable — the two things a deck fitting is attacked by.

3 · How it is printed

Orientation, infill and fixings

Thick-walled tube, solid flange, stainless cross-pin. Drain hole at the base so it does not hold water.

4 · What we will not do

Stated plainly

For light and medium rods. Not for trolling heavy gear or anything a strong fish could load the gunwale through.

5 · Price and time

£15–25 · indicative

Quoted properly from your photograph. Ready in about 3 working days from the original or a good picture; batches take a little longer and cost less per part.
