Beckson GH31-B1 Shallow Series Recessed Cup Holder, Black, 2-7/8 Inch Hole Cut

The Beckson GH31-B1 Shallow Series Cup Holder is a recessed drink holder built for boats, RVs, and other installations where depth below the mounting surface is limited. Its shallow profile gives a tight, secure fit for cans and water bottles without requiring the deeper cutout that standard cup holders need, making it a practical choice for consoles, gunwales, dashboards, galley counters, and seat backs where space behind the panel is tight.

The holder is molded in black plastic/resin and features a generous cavity under the flange that allows for a bead of caulking so it can be installed securely without fasteners. Drainage holes in the cup cavity let rainwater and melted ice escape instead of pooling around your drink. It mounts into a 2-7/8 inch hole cut and has a 3-3/8 inch flange width, with an interior diameter of 2-3/4 inches and a cup depth of 1-3/8 inches (3.5 cm), sized to hold a standard can or water bottle snugly.

How deep is the Beckson GH31-B1 cup holder? It has a cup depth of 1-3/8 inches (3.5 cm), which is shallower than standard recessed drink holders, making it suited for mounting locations with limited clearance behind the panel.

Does this cup holder need screws to install? No fasteners are required. The GH31-B1 has a generous cavity under the flange that accepts a bead of caulking, allowing a secure installation without screws.

What is the cup holder made of? The Beckson GH31-B1 is made of plastic/resin in a black finish.

Can I install this anywhere other than a boat? Yes, the GH31-B1 has a universal fit and can be installed in any flat or near-flat surface with the correct hole cut, including RVs, dashboards, and countertops, not just marine consoles.

How is the Shallow Series different from a standard-depth cup holder? The GH31-B1 Shallow Series has a 1-3/8 inch cup depth, less than typical recessed holders, so it works in mounting spots where a deeper holder would not clear obstructions behind the panel.
