Scotty 266 Float Tube Adapter f/241 Side & Deck Mount

The Scotty 266 Float Tube Adapter for 241 Side & Deck Mount is purpose-built for anglers and boaters who need secure, reliable rod holder attachment on inflatable platforms. Whether you're fishing from a float tube, pontoon boat, or other floating vessel, this adapter bridges the gap between Scotty's legendary mounting systems and soft-sided watercraft where traditional deck mounting isn't an option. Years on the water reveal that proper rod placement is critical—it keeps hands free, reduces fatigue, and prevents expensive tackle from going overboard in rough conditions.

The Scotty 266 features adjustable wrap-around straps that clamp securely to tube sidewalls or pontoon railings without drilling or permanent modification. These mounting straps are engineered for quick release—a critical feature when you need to reposition gear mid-session or disassemble your setup at day's end. The adapter is compatible with Scotty's No. 241 Combination Side/Deck Mount and 241L Locking Combination Side/Deck Mount, allowing you to attach your rod holders, downrigger balls, or other Scotty accessories with confidence. At just 0.6 lbs, the compact design (5 x 2 x 13 inches) adds minimal weight while delivering the rugged durability Scotty has earned over decades of saltwater and freshwater use.

This adapter is indispensable for float tube enthusiasts, pontoon anglers, and anyone operating a soft-sided watercraft who refuses to compromise on rod management. Installation is straightforward—wrap the straps around your tube or railing and tighten until snug; no tools required. Compatibility with the 241 and 241L mounts opens access to Scotty's full ecosystem of rod holders, boom systems, and fishing accessories, making this a one-time investment that grows with your rigging needs. Serious water users know that gear reliability directly impacts success on the water, and Scotty's reputation for quality means this adapter will perform season after season.
