Thanks for the suggestions... I think I'm going to get the tape for the underside and use Marine Tex on the cracks, along with a sand n paint.

Does anyone have a favorite type of paint, best used for these rod holders?

I'm sure there's much better paint out there but I just used a rattle can of Krylon for plastic in white.

I completely agree. I use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) formula always. Krylon for plastic is great paint... I've used it for Resin outdoor furniture, Boat parts, and a ton of other things... It adheres well and lasts several years.

Me too - I've repaired those plastic rod holders on my V21 a few times.

Krylon paint - white. I tried to get fancy with slight off white, result looked green.
Did it over with the white.

I don't really use these alleged rod holders, but since standard equipment, I repaired and re installed.

gotta agree with you bg, not the best way to store a rod. when i repainted my boxes, i used the "fat" ends in one side and added some teak strips. makes a great shelf for mask, fins, watershoes, etc.

i stuck the "skinny" sides on the other side and store gaffs and nets in it.

I've used rustoleum topside marine paint and like it. Read somewhere its the exact same as pettit easypoxy which costs about 3 times more. About 14 bucks a quart at home depot.

I honestly like Blue Runner's suggestion better though, and I would think the results might even look better if you do a half way decent job prepping.
