Scotty 248 Oarlock Mount f/ Rod Holders or Laketroller

The Scotty 248 Oarlock Mount for Rod Holders or Laketroller is a versatile, quick-deploy accessory engineered for small boats and rowboats seeking flexible rigging options. This mounting solution uses a standard oarlock socket interface, allowing anglers to convert existing oarlock locations into functional rod holder or downrigger positions without permanent hull modifications. Install or remove the mount in seconds, making it ideal for anglers who fish different waters and need to reconfigure their setup between trips.

Weighing just 0.6 lbs with compact dimensions of 4 × 3 × 9 inches, the Model 248 mount integrates seamlessly into small craft layouts without adding significant bulk or weight. The oarlock socket interface provides a time-tested, robust connection point that handles the dynamic loads generated by rod pressure and downrigger deployment. This design is particularly effective for lake and river fishing where rowboats remain the primary vessel class, and where space efficiency directly impacts casting room and movement on deck.

Weekend anglers and dedicated small-boat fishermen rely on this mount to add precision equipment without buying new oarlocks or investing in custom fabrication. It solves the common problem of limited rod storage and positioning on compact watercraft. Whether you're deploying a laketroller downrigger system for trolling structure or simply need an additional rod holder for multi-species outings, the Scotty 248 provides the mounting flexibility that traditional small boats lack.

Scotty has built its reputation in the marine equipment space by designing modular mounting systems that respect the constraints of small boat design. The oarlock socket standard ensures compatibility across most rowboats and small watercraft, eliminating guesswork about fitment. For anglers upgrading their small boat arsenal, the Model 248 oarlock mount delivers quick-change functionality and proven durability in freshwater environments.
