“Rolled” my own

Sometimes you have to do it if you can’t buy it.

The rail on my pondtoon is thin 1x2 aluminum. I don’t drill holes in the rail and I really didn’t find anything I liked at a reasonable price. I built the mounts from scraps and Amazoned the threaded ball.

I can adjust height with the U bolt and can put the ball vertical or horizontal because I drilled and tapped holes for the ram ball in both planes. I put plastic end caps in the tube ends to make it purdy. Attachment 347937Attachment 347938

I will take a pic when I get the mounts installed. I am using zinc coat square U bolts. I just spray wit WD 40 to keep rust and corrosion at bay.

Good thinking Tom. A lot of us try to keep the drilling to a minimum. You sound like you’re doing well and staying busy.
