Thanks. It's always a little intimidating to me trying to make things. Took a few tries making patterns out of plywood, and talking to guys who actually work with the materials to get things right....

Update:
I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Fished a tournament on Berryessa with the Manteca Bassin Buddies last Saturday, and while the organizer didn't help me catch any fish, it worked...
So, here is what I came up with.
Rods seem pretty secure in the holder. Still able to get in the compartment. Rod tips are all clear of the trolling motor, so no worries about stowing/deploying the...
Ok, so here is what I came up with.
Rod tips are clear of the trolling motor, and the compartent lid still opens enough to get things in and out. Rods are pretty secure. I'll be testing it out...
I still need to cut the final pattern out of HDPE plastic (think white cutting board). I am having a piece of 4" wide aluminum bent for a bottom bracket. It'll be 31" long, with a 3" 90 bent at each...
Well, figured out I don't have room in the passenger/port side console to cut that hole out for the rods. I stuffed a subwoofer under there, and just don't have anywhere else to put it.
Cut the...
Just finished cutting the newest pattern today. Still working on the mounting setup. I am thinking a piece of flat aluminum, maybe 4" wide would work. I'm going to make it about 31" long, and that...
Doh! That makes waaaay more sense now that I can see it.
CatFan just threw out some real wisdom, lol.
I just updated the lights on my trailer to include back up lights. It should have been a simple job, and if I had paid attention, it probably would have...
@bassmastermatt,
I used the foam insert from a rodsaver of some kind that was in an old Crestliner that i bought. You can see it under the rod tip in the picture of my first post. I would lay the...
I think i get what you are talking about. Any chance you have a couple pictures of your setup?
my boat has a windshield across the boat, so no console to mount those to. also trying to keep them below casting level....
Organizing rods on the deck of a f/s
Hey all,
I've got a 2000 Champion 190SX, new to me last March, and I've been working on ways to manage the rods on the front deck when I'm fishing. My front compartments are in no way a rod...

Tx Champ, I have plenty of room in the rub rail to move the light strips forward to the point of the bow. a simple cap would clean the whole installation up looks wise, and should meet the 112 reg. I...
They were just some I picked up off amazon for $20 or so.
Having the rub rail with the rope insert made it pretty easy, but thanks.
I installed them in my 2000 190SX.
I cut them into the rope in the rub rail, drilled a small hole through, and connected them to the nav light bow mount.
They are super bright, easy to see. No...
The original charger in my 2000 190SX lost a charging bank, and I had been looking at a number of chargers to replace it. Budget is always an issue, so the Amazon chargers had my attention. A number...
Not that I'm going to, but if I was, would I trim the boat up or keep it trimmed down for the turn?
Thanks for all the support, this is one of the best forums I've been a part of.
I am seeing a common thread; practice, practice, practice. That, and Champs are the best hulls, so don't worry about...
Read all that Pat had to say, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Helped a lot in the early stages, and got me comfortable on the water quicker, for sure.
Just hard to visualize some of the things he says....
Bought a bluetooth powered sub that had outputs for a couple 6-1/2" MB Quarts. Play straight from the phone so we can listen to sports or tunes.
Sounds good when we want it, and turns off when we...
Hey all!
Bought my first Champ, a 2000 190SX, back in May. After a bit of work, I got it on the water in mid July, and realized my driving skills did not match the boat's capabilities.
Not...

Hull is in pretty good shape for 20yrs old
carpet and interior, not so much. I've done a lot of cleaning up, and fixing of the little things.
Added some rub...
