Mounting spyder lok rod holders
I'm considering purchasing the spyder lok rod holder kit for my 14' Jon boat. However, I'm curious about a method for fastening the base plate to the aluminum without washing out the hole. If anybody has any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't have a TIG Rig or a Gas shielded MIG welder.

A 1960's Jon boat. Broharrel gave it to me years ago. Planning on buying a newer, bigger boat but until then It's what I got. No I does t have the rail.

Well I do have those I but aluminum is just so malleable I'm afraid it will loosen over time because the hole will waller out.Originally Posted by BigRiverMarine

I made a bracket to hold a piece of 1/4" plate aluminum to mount my rod holder to.Drilled and tapped holes in the plate.It is rock solid,no problems......
