That sounds reasonable, but since there's no holes in my rod boxes I'm puzzled. Reelapeelin had to fix that problem on his too, although he drained his back to the bilge. Draining to the deck would be good b/c then no water accumulates anywhere.
Here is a link to the guy I bought the pads from. The pads I bought were made for a Palm Beach boat so they say Palm Beach on the side and have blue piping but I didn't really care. Got the pair new for $53 shipped and it beats not having pads. The factory pads my buddy has on his Clearwater center console are identical to mine, but longer. These were the perfect length and width for a V21. They were not quite 5"...think it was 4 & 7/8?:

Edit: just noticed the ad says "used".....if they were used I sure could not tell it!
