The port rod box on my V was loose at the bottom, the plastic had broken where the screws held it. It vibrated and shook and was generally no good.

Last week when I went to the coast for a couple of days I installed my "new" depthfinder. I had to take out the port rod box to run the wires. I was about to slide the box back into the hole and try to figure a way to reinforce the box when the light came on.

I put the outer edge of the box that used to be behind the gunwale on the outside and just put the teak trim right on top of it.

I cut the front edge so that the box could slide forward inside the gunwale as before.

So far, it works good, very sturdy.
