Okay, so let’s talk about these Roberts rod holders. I’ve been wanting to get some for my boat for a while now, and I finally pulled the trigger. I did some digging around online, watched a few videos, and decided to give them a shot.
First off, I ordered them, and they arrived pretty quickly. I was itching to get them on the boat, so I grabbed my tools and headed down to the dock. I got the old rod holders off the boat – that was a bit of a pain, but nothing too crazy.
Next, I started figuring out where I wanted to mount these new ones. I played around with a few different spots, trying to get the best angle and make sure they were out of the way. After some tinkering, I found the perfect locations.
Installation Time
Getting them mounted was pretty straightforward. I marked where the screws needed to go, drilled some pilot holes, and then screwed them in. They felt really secure once I tightened everything down.
- Marked screw locations
- Drilled pilot holes
- Screwed in the holders
- Tightened everything down
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon getting everything set up just right. I even took the boat out for a quick spin to test them out. I threw a couple of rods in the holders and made sure they were nice and snug. I did a few turns, hit some waves, and those rods didn’t budge.
My Thoughts So Far
Honestly, I’m pretty stoked about these rod holders. They feel super solid, and they look pretty darn good on the boat. I can’t wait to really put them to the test when I’m out on the water for a full day of fishing.
I’m definitely glad I made the upgrade. If you’re looking for some new rod holders, I’d say give these Roberts ones a look. They seem like they’re built to last, and they were pretty easy to install.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with the Roberts rod holders so far. I’ll keep you guys updated on how they hold up over time.
Final words
That is all I did for my boat today, see you guys next time.
