Rod holders on 04 260 Dancer

[Moose]

Has anyone ever installed rod holders on the 260? Starboard and port sides. Port would be just ahead of the battery switch box and starboard ahead of the storage locker there. I'm concerned as to what is underneath before I drill those holes? I can't get a good look in both those places. Advice would be appreciated. Thx.

My '00 has factory rod holders. Your boat is the same.

It looks like the fishing rod would interfere with the bimini.

If you're fishing with the aft camper bimini up, you're not fishing.
But it won't interfere with the main bimini, if it's up.

Todd, great pics. Thx. I was just concerned that if I drilled through I might hit something I would regret later. I have the arch and I'm sure that doesn't mean anything as far as wiring, etc. I'm sure there is info out there that describes how to drill those holes, .i.e. maybe a jig of some sorts, so you can get the right angle. What did he catch on that trip?
