[QUOTE="Josh in FLA, post: 291473, member: 9933"] Haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but my plan for making one on the cheap is an oversized u-bolt at the gunwale and a piece of galvanized electrical conduit. I don't think the short term installation would cause much in the way of pitting on the aluminum, if it does, just wrap some electrical tape around the conduit at the contact points. The conduit is easily cut to size, available in different diameters, comes in 10' length standard, and is relatively cheap 1/2" is around $2 a stick locally at Lowe's or Home Depot. Galvanized or black pipe could be substituted, but weighs considerably more. [/QUOTE]
