what is the forward angled pole holder on a boat for
I originally wanted to install the rod holder so I could mount a grab post for guests boarding my boat, but my boat is currently on a mooring at Catalina Island (35 miles from Los Angeles). So for now, the rod holder will be used to mount a barbecue grill. I chose a 0-degree stainless steel rod holder and decided to install it on the port-side gunwale just forward of the boarding area. The vertical position of the holder will keep my grill upright and near my boatâs cockpit.
