Subject: Stowage for fishing rods on 2019 R29 CB NW Edition
Now that I'm invested in fishing gear (especially fishing rods that I have two of) I've spent time investigating where and how to stow them onboard with a mind on security from theft if stowed outside of the locked cabin.
Rods are lengthly so this presented a challenge. However, my rods can be disassembled into two lengths and this lead me to a solution that I'm happy with.
I wanted a solution that allows me to leave the rod reels assembled and left attached to the rod when stowing the rods. Removing the reels and line (each time I wished to stow the rods) was considered by me to be a PITA. My solution allows me to leave the reels attached to the rods. The rod holder for the narrow ends has a rotatable inner sliding piece that simplifies snapping the narrow rod ends securely once the rod handles have been slid into the other end holders first.
The height for this rod stowage is sufficient unless one was to be 6-1/2 feet tall. 😀 :lol:
I also wanted a fish cleaning tray that could be mounted outside of the cockpit area to avoid any spillage from landing up in the cockpit. For this I invested in a SeaDog 30" tray that I mounted securely on the swim step railing.
I present my solutions here.... https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B1AGCATCnGC8Ix4
I can easily stow my fish net securely under the solar panel as it really is to large (that is the net portion) to place in cabin, although that could be done on a temporary basis I suppose.
