I'm trying to seal my entire underdeck for zero water intrusion, so instead of putting a SS pin or bolt across the bottom I'm going to put rubber caps (available at Home Despot or Lowes in the plumbing dept) on the bottom of all my rod holders. I really don't care if they fill up with water. (That's what they make turkey basters for) It's water that won't be going below my decks and saturating the foam.

Yeah Destroyer, no idea why WC designed the V21 that way. No way they did not realize it would be a problem. I am going to do what Reel did - he attached a plastic thru hull fitting to a rubber bearing buddy cover, then connected the bearing buddy cover to the bottom of the rod holder using a stainless steel clamp. Then simply connect a hose that runs back to the bilge. Perfect solution IMO. I just ain't neva got around to it! Plus now that I have a dry place to store the boat it isn't as big a deal.
Here's the link to Oz's post on rod holder drains: http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-...ml#post2913074

rod holders
The rubber plumbing part you can use is called a Gem Cap (Home Depot) I am actuall thinking of cutting the top of the rod boxes and sleeving the rod holder through it. it will only extend down an inch or so , you wont see it and it will for sure drain on deck when those stupid rubber caps break . What do you think

I think Reel did a thread about how he attached drain lines to his.

As long as they don't get in the way, I also like the idea of cuttin' clearance holes thru the top of the rod box and just let 'em drain into the boat...
