| How do you prevent the Down East Salty S-10 clamp on rod holders from scratching the top of your gunnel or the side of your boat? Has anyone tried gluing felt or something like that on the places where the rod holder comes in contact with the boat, i.e. the underside of the U-bracket and the plates that make contact with the boat? One final question. Do you trailer your boat with the S-10's mounted? I have had them work loose, and the only thing I can figure out is that the vibration from trailering is causing them to loosen.
Thanks in advance for your help. |

| I know a guy who takes an old (or new) bicycle innertube from the tire and cuts a piece of it to go between the clamp and gunnel. As far as trailering, guess it depends on how far you're going. The clamp style aren't that hard to remove. |

Location: New Baden IL | I wrapped the areas that contacted the boat with electrical tape, and never had a scratch from them afterwards. Easy and cheap fix...I like easy and cheap.
I never trailered the boat with them on, it's too easy to just take them off and not lose them if they would rattle off.
