This stainless steel base Ø22.5 mm offers a versatile solution for small boats used for both rowing and fishing. It is compatible with standard oarlock pins and fishing rod holder posts of the same diameter, providing a strong and stable mounting point for both types of accessories.
Uses and Recommendations:
- Rowboats and Dinghies: Install the base on the gunwale to easily insert an oarlock pin for rowing. When needed, you can quickly swap out the oarlock for a rod holder when you switch to fishing.
- Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs): Ideal for RIBs and small motorboats – the base bolts securely onto a firm surface (gunnel or transom) and allows you to add an oarlock or rod holder without complex modifications.
- Small Motorboats: Provides extra flexibility – you can outfit your boat for both rowing and trolling. When you’re not using the rod, simply remove the rod holder and utilize the base for an oar, and vice versa.
Thanks to its stainless steel construction, this base will not rust and will last for years with proper care. We recommend periodically checking the fastening bolts for security, especially if you frequently switch between an oar and a rod holder. This universal accessory adds functionality to your boat without taking up space when not in use.
