The Sea-lect Designs Flush Mount Rod Holder with Cap works great in kayaks or any application that calls for a capped rod holder. The Sea-lect Designs Flush Mount Rod Holder with Cap includes a rubber gasket with cap that is designed to keep water from filling up the rod holder itself. Installs easily on flat surfaces with a drill, small saw, rivets and rivet gun. The Sea-lect Designs Flush Mount Rod Holder with Cap can also be mounted with stainless steel screws (hardware not included) where access to the inside of the boat can be had.
Durable black plastic
Includes a rubber gasket with cap for rod holder opening

Installation was easy but you have to take your time and cut out the
smallest hole possible for the holder. I like the cap that fits over the
opening - it gives the holder a finished look.
Works well.
Just FYI, it's a little too long to install in an Ocean Kayak Frenzy...
when you stop laughing I'll add that a judicious amount of heat and
pressure applied to the end of the tube makes it work a lot better.
I purchased the flush mount rod holder was very pleased with the
product, good quality.the service was great and so was the
shipping, reasonable charges and quick. thanks I would
recommend to anyone
I purchased 4 of these for my kayaks. They installed fine but after the
first use 2 of the 4 had failed at the mounting hole locations...the
screws and some of the body material around the screws stayed on
the kayak and the body was hanging loose. I am not sure if they
were poorly molded (meaning poorly processed material), or what, but
the material was completely crystalline at the mounting hole locations
and crumbled when very little force was put on the mount. I will see
if I get replacements and if the new ones are made of any better
materials.....if not, don't waist your time one this design, it will fail
immediately! I am going to replace all 4 of the ones I have installed
as every one of them appear to have similar crystalline material at the
mounting holes. If the new ones are better, I will be back for better
comments.
Good product, the rubber cap covers don't fit
real tight but seem to be fine. I ordered two
they didn't come with mounting instructions or
hardware. There are some good YouTube
videos that were really helpful. I put them on
my Tarpon and would recommend using some
good grade silicone sealant under the gasket
and in the rivet holes.
Good value! Easy to install, fit
Tarpon 12.0 very well. Quality
(for plastic) as good as it gets.
Designed perfectly. ACK pricing
and service, second to none!
It was nice that the gasket is
included with the
cap, but the caps dont stay
closed. I tried
roughing up the inside of the
tubes with sandpaper.
It helped a bit, but the caps
still work loose
after a while. The holders are
fine, but the caps
are a disappointment.
The flush mount rod holder
with the cap are sturdy
and closed at the ends to
prevent water from
flooding the hull. However,
they do not fit well on
the Wilderness Tarpon System.
I wish they were
smaller so that they fit
better.
Easy to install as long as you
are comfortable drilling a big
hole in your kayak. The
gasket is nice to have as a
positioning/drilling template.
I would bump it up to five
stars if it included
installation hardware.
Great product! I also used the
gaskets as a
template to mark the correct
position to cut the
holes to mount the rod
holders. Worked great. The
price was excellent. A great
quality product at
1/2 the price of some other
rod holders and with
ACKs 15% coupon an even better
deal. Plus ACKs
fast shipping and great
customer service it
doesnt get any easier.
Bought this to match up with
my existing flushmount on my
little 10' Pescador Sport. I
originally bought another
brand flushmount that was more
expensive and unbeknownist to
me didn't even include a
gasket (needed as a template),
much less the mounting
screws/rivets. I went through
the trouble of returning that
item, paid postage, etc.
Wish I had bought this one
in the first place! The little
cover works well, lays flat
when the rod is out. Easy
install.....good product.
Installed on two Dagger
Approach 10.0s. Excellent
quality and value. The gasket
provides a perfect template
for the oval hole. Use 1 3/4"
hole saw to drill two,
overlapping holes = near
perfect oval for rod holder
insertion in boat deck.
Great Product! Clean and
polished when done.
Complements the lines of the
kayak. A drill with a hole saw
attachment and wahlahh! Took
about 15 minutes start to
finish. Great price, but like
others have said, would added
to ease if nuts and bolts were
included.
Works the way you think it
would, holds the rod in the
direction you face it. Buy it
you'll like it. Cap is really
a secondary feature, not
water-tight but with slight
mod can hold items in place.
Excellent rod holder for the kayak. Easy to install, just wish they would supply the stainless steel screws to mount it. You need to supply your own screws. Love the rod holders and have installed them on my own, my wifes, and my sons they work great.
Okay product; easy to install. One problem I've found is that the cap is not quite snug enough; it doesn't take much to dislodge it. It's serviceable though.
I have used these before and really like the fact that the bottom is molded closed and there is not just a cap that is over the opening that you need to further weather proof. The molded bottom assures me that water is not getting inside my SOT kayak through my rod holders. Great Product.
Works great. Easy to install. Most trouble I had was where to position it on my boat, I have an Ocean Kayak Malibu 2XL> It is limited in areas deep enough to hold the holder and still be accessable to the seats. Overall a good product.
If you have a perfectly flat place to mount i don't think you would need to seal it but if it has any arc at all to it at all the rubber gasket isn't enough to seal so make sure you use some silicone or it will let splashing water in. otherwise great.
They look great, but the cap rarely stay in place. Actually all caps tend to do the same. It's too bad that they just can design a deeper cap plug or velcro to hold the cover down.
Great rod holders! I used the rubber gasket as a template to trace the oval on my yak, then cut the opening with a Dremel tool. A round rasp to file a bevel and you have a perfect fit! Use the rivets ACK sells, and installation is a cinch! I would rather save money by buying a standard yak and install these as opposed to buying an angler edition any day! I also like the rubber cap, it keeps the holders from filling with water when in the surf zone. Thanks to ACK!
Great holders at 1/2 the price of Wilderness Systems website. In fact I believe they're better than the ones that come with the Angler series kayak. Shipping was prompt and arrived in great condition.
Very nice product. You will need to drill a 1 7/8" or 2" hole, then use a grinder to make your hole oval. Be sure to use RTV or any marine grade sealant on both sides of the rubber seal. I used 1/4-20 screws with lock nuts to insure no gap in the 3 holes of the rod holder. I mounted immediately behind my seat.
Q:
I plan on adding two of the Sea-lect Designs Flush Mount Rod Holders with Cap to my 2015 Hobie Kona Kayak behind the rear cockpit. According to your video you need to cut a 2 1/2 inch hole with a hole saw. Is this still correct. I have seen videos of several installations of flush mounted rod holders similar to this one and the cut size hole varies from 2 1/2 to 2 1/4 and some less, I have a 2 1/2 inch saw hole cutter, just want to make sure that is the correct size for this particular rod holder. Thanks
A:
You want the hole to be as close to the actual diameter of the rod holder as possible. This is to allow it to be as water tight as possible. It will always be best to cut shorter to try to make it fit then modify it after rather than cutting to big of a hole to start out with.
