Mate Series Stainless Steel 0° Rod & Cup Holder - Drain - Oval Top

The Mate Series Stainless Steel 0° Rod & Cup Holder with Drain and Oval Top (Model C2000D) is a dual-purpose marine accessory engineered for serious anglers and boaters who demand corrosion-resistant functionality on the water. Built from 316 stainless steel—the marine-grade alloy specified for saltwater environments—this rod and cup holder combines secure rod storage with refreshment access in a single, compact footprint.

The 0° rod angle positions fishing rods vertically, maximizing deck space while keeping rods visible and accessible during active fishing or trolling. The 3/8" NPT drain fitting allows rapid water drainage—essential for locations prone to accumulation from rain, spray, or deck washing. The oval-top design accommodates both standard beverage cups and wider-mouth tumblers, making it practical for extended time on the water. At 3.6 lbs with compact dimensions (7 x 6 x 15 inches), the holder installs easily on helm consoles, gunwales, or cabin rails without consuming critical deck real estate.

This model suits both weekend fishermen and offshore crews seeking low-maintenance, salt-resistant hardware. The 316 stainless construction resists pitting and stress corrosion cracking in high-salt environments where standard steel or lower-grade stainless fails. The integrated drain keeps the cup cavity clean and prevents standing water that accelerates corrosion or attracts marine growth. Weekend anglers value its simplicity; serious offshore operators rely on Mate Series components for their proven durability in extreme marine conditions.
