Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 27, 2019 Super User Posted February 27, 2019 Just bought 4 of the side mount version to put on my 12' tin boat. I assembled the first one by re-positioning the holder from the vertical mount position to the side hole position of the base. Problem is I cannot get it to come up to move it! It's like it's glued in there. Tried WD-40 but it hasn't helped. Went in just fine, no idea why I can't get it up and out. Any suggestions or tricks? Thanks! Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Super User Posted February 27, 2019 Got a response from an owner of these rod holders at Amazon.com. He said to spray it with WD-40 and let it set. It WORKED! All is good with the world once again. LOL! 1 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted February 27, 2019 Super User Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks for the wd40. I too found that Scotty rod holder is easy to get in but super hard to get out. I used white lithium grease spray to get mine out last time. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 27, 2019 Super User Posted February 27, 2019 Looks like you figured it out. They're a pain. I had two on my first kayak. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Super User Posted February 28, 2019 What is amazing to me about these holders is that the box of 4 that I received was so LIGHT in weight. I was afraid they'd be heavy, but quite the contrary. I'll keep that lithium grease spray in the back of my mind as well. Thanks guys! Quote
