Why drill two holes in your pristine gunwale when one will do the job perfectly? The Mate's Series Combination Rod & Cup Holder (Model P2030ND) is an award-winning piece of deck hardware that functions seamlessly as both a standard beverage holder and a heavy-duty fishing rod holder.

This dual-purpose design completely unclutters your boat and solves the age-old angler's dilemma: what to do with your drink when a fish suddenly strikes. Instead of tossing your beverage on the deck to grab your rod, you simply swap them out.

Manufactured from high-impact ABS plastic, this model is vastly superior to the cheap, brittle vinyl materials used in standard rod holders. It is designed to take a beating from heavy rod butts and harsh marine UV rays. The 30-degree internal angle is perfect for trolling or straylining, while the open bottom allows water, rain, and spilled drinks to pass right through to the deck below without pooling.

One of the greatest advantages of the Mate's Series is the installation. Unlike traditional angled rod holders that require a frustrating and imprecise angled cut through your fibreglass, the top cup-holder portion of the Mate's Series sits perfectly vertical. This means you only need to drill a simple, straight 3.25-inch hole to drop it securely into place.

• 2-in-1 Functionality: Operates as a secure cup holder for your drinks and a fully functional 30-degree rod holder, drastically reducing the required deck hardware on your boat.

• Impact-Resistant ABS Plastic: Engineered from heavy-duty, automotive-grade ABS plastic designed to withstand extreme UV exposure and the heavy impact of rod butts.

• Straight-Cut Installation: The straight upper cup section means you only need to drill a standard 90-degree hole (using a 3.25" hole saw), making retrofitting incredibly easy.

• Open Bottom Drainage: Features a completely open base, allowing saltwater, rain, and spilled beverages to drain instantly rather than stagnating inside the cup.

• Oval Top Bezel: The elongated oval top provides a sleek, modern aesthetic that looks fantastic on centre consoles and perfectly covers the fibreglass cutout.
