I have a center console and in each gunwale there is an insert that holds 2 rods. Mine is an actual plastic piece that fits into a cut-out in the hull. These aren't the holders like a rocket launcher- these are plastic, about 5 feet long, 2 feet tall and go into the sides of the hull. Both of mine have cracks and stains and I would like to replace them. I have had no luck finding them anywhere to purchase. I called my manufacturer but they could not tell me either. (It's stamped ProLine but they don't make them themselves.) So, I'm trying to find a place to buy them. If anyone can help, I'm all ears. <br /><br />UFM82

Do you happen to have a photo of these rod holders?

Is your boat a Proline???? I know of the piece your talking about, my buddy has a 1988 Proline with the rod holders you discribed.<br /><br />If it is Proline I would call them back and keep after them until you get to somebody who knows what you are talking about.<br /><br />It doesn't seem likely to me that there isn't somebody at Proline who can't tell you where to find the part. There are also dealers of used marine parts.<br /><br />I will do some searching around and see if I can come up with something.<br /><br />If you can't get anywhere with Proline post the dimensions of the holders.<br /><br />pbailey

If you can't find replacements, can they be rehabbed? Wonder if you could use something thin like superglue to seep into & strengthen cracks and then coat entire holder with something like that spray on rubber coating....
