Rod holder ?

[BillTex]

Ok...I understand flush mounted rod holders are too long unless you cut through the rods boxes. Which you may not want to do due to drainage issues.

What if I place (teak?) wood spacers under the flange of the rod holders to lift them up enough?

Any reason this wouldn't work?

I cannot seem to find any good picture threads of flush mount rod holders...can anyone point me to some good pics that point out the issue?
