Ok fixin to take a trip to the coast to fish and decided I need rod holders. So I decided to make some cheap. Here is my build log.
Take 2' inch PVC and a female coupler and glue together using PVC glue
Used a 2 3/4 key hole saw and cut out circle for the PVC pipe to fit down in the bumper.
Used a male threaded cover to keep water out of bumper when not in use.
Cut another 18inch PVC and attached male coupler for actual rod holder. Then used a dremel to cut out the notches for the reels.
All painted flat black. Looks like a gas cap been left on the bumper.
I have just the price in PVC. All done for around 20.00
