Rod Holder Questions

The Mark VI Rod Holder is built from 316 Stainless Steel and 6/4 Titanium and has been extensively tested with 80 lbs test line. The Mark VI is targeted at seawater environments where corrosion is a major concern. The Mark IV Rod Holder is of the same design as the Mark VI, however it is produced from stainless steel and has been extensively tested with 50 lbs test line.

Where is the best place to mount the Mark IV or VI rod holders?

The Mark IV and VI rod holders are designed to be mounted; in existing gunnel rod holders all along the deck of your boat, on track mount systems that can be mounted on any horizontal or vertical surface such as the gunnel, or on any tubular structure on your boat. We have fitted as many as 40 rod holders onto one fishing boat!

Mounting Accessories Questions

Are the rod holders equipped with the flush mount adapters easily removed from the gunnel rod holders?

YES! The flush mount adapter is secured in place with a clamping mechanism that is activated by a rotating handle. To install or remove it, just tighten or loosen the nut by hand. The 360 Marine Flush Mount Adapter also has slots on the bottom to engage into the rod-pin of most gunnel holders, this further secures the adapter in place.

If I purchase a rod holder with a track mount base can I change it to a flush mount adapter or bar clamp?

YES! We designed the Mark Series of Rod Holders to be as adaptable to any vessel as possible. All mounting bases, including the flush mount adapter, are removable. Please contact 360 Marine for further information.
