Hobie outback rod holder options

[Dave Legacy]

You could use a Scotty. Is your RAM ball mounted to a Gear Trac or directly to the hull?

Mine is mounted on gear trac using a ball mount
I think that's the problem but I wanted all the attachment points sit flush with in the hull so that's why I went with gear trac
Can Scotty be installed flush to the hull with minimum alteration to the hull?
Thanks!

Perfect. This shouldn't be any more in the way than the Ram ball:

That's just a quick link. I'm positive there's more descriptive info elsewhere; Scotty 438 Gear Head

O...ya...I just bought one of these for the top of my Scotty Mount. Love the additional options of moving the rod holder side to side. Instead of just up & down.

Thank you for the link!
It's that screw in part that gets loose every time there's a fish in the line
I was trolling a lucky craft lure inside the harbor last time and it got loose every time a small fish was caught..

That's a righty-tighty/lefty-loosey problem, haha. I wonder if that can be reduced with some loc-tite or something.
