Hi Bluegill,
Thanks for joining!

Here is a link to Cabelas that will give you tons of choices!

The clamp on ones you can move around to different parts of the boat!
 
I like the Roberts brand, there is another brand that is pretty much the same thing, they are interchangeable as well.

They have clamp on, recessed and surface mount holders. I used to have some recessed into the decking on my boat, completely out of the way when Bass fishing, and right there where I needed them for Crappie fishing or Striper fishing
 
Here' what I mounted on the port aft brace on my Lowe. It's a Scotty's Power-Lock rod holder.

The deck mount is a Scotty's #444 Threaded Flush-Deck Mount:

(in the pic it looks like a power cable going to it, but that's the power cable from the front tm going to the battery in the rear of the boat)

Another view w/o Power-Lock in the mount:

I use Driftmaster or Drftmaster lookalikes that I made, have 7. Also have a oval shaped one I made that works pretty good. Driftmaster sells alluminum angle bracket that screws to the round top rail of the gunnels, then screw their holders into the top. I made some out of 1/4" alum angle. The first 2 holder brackets I had were made out of old camper shell c-clamps, I was able to move them around to get the right fit.
