Rod holders

[Wolfhound VI]

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the built in rod holders on the 2026 Tugs? I lost one of the inner rubber gaskets ‍♂️

Thanks in advance

As I recall, the flush-mount rod holders on our 2021 R72OB were from White Water; they may still be the same.

We lost one of those liners early on, as well. Those liners were a real PITA when removing a rod. Bought one of these from the hardware store:

Took the hose clamps off, pushed half of the flexible coupling into the rod holder and then cut it off flush with the top of the rod holder. The remaining half that you just cut off will then fit perfectly into the other rod holder. These couplings are a flexible rubber-type material that has some "stiction". Neither of them came out over the next few years. I eventually swapped out the rod holders for Burnewiin sockets.

If you're local to the Seattle area, I'll give you the one stock liner I have left if it will fit your holder. PM if you want it.

Awesome thanks for the help. I’ll probably just steal your idea because it works better than the factory equipment.
