Attaching the Rod Holder  

 

The positive lock rod holder incorporates a 

locking disk that allows the rod holder to be 
aligned in 15 degree increments. Slide the rod 
holder tube into the clamp to the desired position 
within the recommended area (see below).  
 

Be sure the angled shoulders are facing up. 

Place the locking disk into the mating recess of 
the frame.  
 

Slip the clamp arms in place where the 

obround tab on the disk fits into the slot on the 
clamp. Slide the star washer between the arm of 
the clamp and the frame. Place the flat washer 
onto the bolt. Then insert the bolt with washer 
through the clamp by entering the disk, going 
through the frame, the star washer, and out the 
other side of the clamp. Tighten the nut to secure 
the rod holder. Reposition the rod holder by 
loosening the nut and adjusting the tilt.
