Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone out there has a 188 with boat buckles for the rods for reference. I just got 2 kits and the low-pro concealment parts, but was curious where people were installing them at the front.

I have the 178 which is similar to the 188. My rod buckles came installed from the factory. I will snap a pic tomorrow. They are mounted In the gunnels.

Here are mine. Take into account my boat is a foot shorter. Mine were installed by Ranger. It should give you a good relative area on your boat. Sorry it took a while.

No worries. Thanks for the pics.
I don't think I can place mine in the same spots as I have the factory rod holders installed so it would be a lot of work to get them in that position. I guess I'll have to improvise. Appreciate you sharing the pics though.

You can also use a router/dremel tool and mount the base in the deck,right next to the gunnel.I had to do that on a Nitro I used to have,the gunnels just didn't have the height for them there. Worked great.
