Thread: HiTek rod holder help

Contacted Scott(owner)...he recommended putting the original bolt back on and "crankin" er down! We see

Never had a issue!

I think that will fix u up!

The link for a left hand 3/8-16 tap in the above thread no longer works ...

This one should

The other links still work ...

I cut off a half inch box end wrench and it stays in the boat. Made loops from a couple of tie wraps to hold it when not in use. Mine don’t move and I’m not shy about crankin em down as Scott said.

Problem solved...like Billy Crystal would say "You look Mahwelous!" Actually, thought of two other cures...still keeping Star-knob bolt(no wrench needed)= 1- coat both contact surfaces w/PlastiDip let dry 2- attach two trimmed, self-adhesive Velcro pieces to both contact surfaces Also, was amazed to find that my new rig(3 batteries 2/27's(trolling) and 1/24(starting) had ZERO protective, terminal covers! Contacted factory(overlooked woops) Their response was that they don't use them, no complaints over the years! Besides investing in the non-cheap terminal covers(6), I had some PlastiDip in black and red...check bolts for tightness/color coat terminals = FIX!
