The strap is molded from black polyurethane that retains its stretch and resists breakdown from sunlight and most chemicals, so it holds its grip over repeated use. Unlike hook-and-loop straps, the Rod Tamer will not snag on fish hooks, will not lose its hold when wet, and will not fade out over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deck mount version attaches with a single countersunk screw at the strap end, making it a practical choice for aluminum or foam-filled fiberglass boats that cannot accept the retracting gunwale mount version of the Rod Tamer. In use, the strap stretches over the stored rods and hooks into a loop mounted on the deck, holding the rods flush and rattle-free. The RT-14 is the 14 inch deck mount model rated to hold up to four rods; a longer 18 inch deck mount version (RT-18, rated for up to seven rods) is available separately for boats needing to secure more rods in one strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-H Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e RT-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rod Tamer, 14 inch deck mount, holds up to 4 rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deck Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holds up to 4 rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Rod Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyurethane (PU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 inches D x 14 inches W x 14 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e One countersunk screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many rods does the RT-14 Rod Tamer hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The T-H Marine RT-14 is rated to hold up to four fishing rods in its single 14 inch strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the RT-14 a gunwale mount or a deck mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RT-14 is the deck mount version of the Rod Tamer, mounting flat to the deck rather than retracting into a gunwale-mounted housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the RT-14 deck mount best suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum boats and foam-filled fiberglass boats that cannot accept the retracting gunwale mount Rod Tamer are well suited to the RT-14 deck mount design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the RT-14 strap made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Black polyurethane is used for the RT-14 strap, chosen because it retains its stretch and resists degradation from sunlight and most chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the RT-14 strap snag on fish hooks?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the RT-14 Rod Tamer strap is designed so it will not get hung up in fish hooks, unlike older hook-and-loop style rod straps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the RT-14 lose its grip when it gets wet?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the polyurethane strap on the RT-14 will not lose its hold when wet, unlike hook-and-loop alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the RT-14 installed on a boat deck?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RT-14 mounts to the deck with one countersunk screw at the strap end, and the strap stretches over the rods to hook into a loop mounted on the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the RT-14 and the RT-18?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RT-14 is a 14 inch deck mount strap holding up to 4 rods, while the RT-18 is an 18 inch deck mount strap holding up to 7 rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color does the RT-14 Rod Tamer come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The RT-14 Rod Tamer is molded in black polyurethane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the RT-14 fade or degrade in sunlight over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the RT-14 strap is molded of polyurethane that remains unaffected by sunlight and most chemicals, so it will not fade out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T-H Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49033323774171,"sku":"T-H-RT-14","price":7.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/41yfEiza96L.jpg?v=1785244693","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/t-h-marine-rt-14-rod-tamer-rod-holder-strap-14-inch-deck-mount-holds-up-to-4-rods","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
