Made a cheap horizontal rod transport. I looked at the racks that are made and just could not figure out what I wanted to do and being that I go under a lot of low bridges, I thought it might be better to just keep the rods on the deck. so I had to figure out a bracket to mount on the side of the console to keep the rods from falling off the side of the boat. Was going to make one out of aluminum but then noticed an old depth finder bracket laying on the floor in the shop. Only took 5 minutes to figure out what to do with it. cut some of the ears off, drilled some holes for bungee cords, painted it with plasti dip and cut the bungees to size. drilled holes and mounted. 30 minutes later I had figured out what I had been thinking about since I bought this boat. It ain't the most professional looking thing in the world but it is practical. I wrap the lines around the rods to keep the rods from tangling, two sets of bungees hold the rods down and then a strip of velcro goes on the tips to keep them from whipping and tangling. Also my passenger will have plenty of room and the rods are not hanging off the boat in a rack or in a high rack that looks like a light pole.



Got an extra bungee on top for backup "just in case" whole rig cost 5 bucks.



Sorry about the fuzzy pics. Think I had some sheet rock dust on the lens from the work at the house going on.CF
