I mounted my ss holders in the gunnels, about a foot in front of the rear hatches. Probably like yours, 30*, flush mounts. Used a 2 1/8" doorknob hole saw on my 18v DeWalt, held it at 30* angle and in I went. A little scary drilling a big hole like that in your boat.....slow and steady, you'll be fine.

willy, dont go oversize. the front screws or bolts wont have enough meat to hold onto.
i just put holders in mine.
what a *****.
wont do that again.
on the other hand, probably alot easier if you screw them in as uposed to bolting.

Diggin up an old thread...

What are the stock aft rod holder angles on the steplifts? I am looking at replacing the smaller sized plastic ones with larger Stainless ones (bigger rod butts and also the bait table) and don't know what angle they are. Are they 60 degree or 30 degree?

Thanks.

What do you mean when you said you put holders in? I have 1 that the hole is too big.
