Sea-Dog Rail Mount Rod Holder 327161-1, White Polypropylene, Fits 7/8 to 1 Inch Round Rail Tubing

The Sea-Dog Rail Mount Rod Holder (327161-1) is a clamp-on fishing rod holder built to mount directly onto round rail tubing from 7/8 inch to 1 inch in diameter, making it a straightforward add-on for boats with standard round rails. It is constructed of injection molded polypropylene in white, a material chosen for its resistance to corrosion and UV exposure in a marine environment. The holder accommodates fishing rods up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter, covering the vast majority of rod butts and reel seats used by anglers.

A key feature of this rod holder is its front mount adjustment screw, which lets you tighten or loosen the clamp's grip on the rail without having to disassemble the mounting bracket. This makes it fast to install, remove, or reposition on the rail as needed. Because the rod sits in an open holder rather than a locked mount, Sea-Dog recommends using a leash on the rod and/or reel as a safety backup while the rod holder is in use. This is a rail-mount accessory rather than an OEM replacement part, so it installs on any compatible round rail without requiring drilling into the boat's gunwale or hull.
