Whitecap Rod/Cup Holder - 304 Stainless Steel - 0°

The Whitecap Rod/Cup Holder – 304 Stainless Steel – 0° is a corrosion-resistant fishing and marine hardware solution built for permanent deck installation. Engineered from marine-grade 304 stainless steel, this rod holder combines functional cup-holder design with a traditional vertical mounting angle (0°), making it suitable for boats, fishing vessels, and coastal installations where salt-air durability is non-negotiable. The threaded body design eliminates the need for a backing plate, simplifying installation while the included locking pin secures the rod firmly in place during use or rough water conditions.

Key specifications include a 4¾-inch outside diameter cup opening with a 2½-inch depth, accommodating standard marine cup holders and beverage cans. The 4-inch cut-out dimension facilitates clean mounting through deck or gunwale surfaces. The threaded insert at the open bottom accepts standard pipe or hose barb fittings for water drainage or ventilation, a critical detail for extended-life marine hardware exposed to spray and rain. The locking nut provides secure fastening without additional hardware, reducing installation time and maintenance complexity on the water.

This holder serves weekend anglers, tournament fishermen, and commercial vessel operators who need reliable rod storage that won't degrade under constant UV and saltwater exposure. The vertical orientation suits conventional fishing tackle stowage and works on center consoles, open boats, and larger fishing platforms. 304 stainless steel resists pitting and rust far longer than lower-grade stainless or chrome finishes, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance on high-corrosion environments. Whitecap's design focuses on permanence—this is hardware meant to outlast multiple seasons of active use.
