Hi does anyone know where I could find a rod storage system to fit my 202 on the port side box? Would like something that would hold 8-10. Also do you know anyplace to get a deck extension? Thanks

The Moosehead was the last OEM rod organizer. You can Google it or check with Carol at C&O Marine. As far as the deck extension, you can either fabricate one of your own. Several have built one out of wood or you can check with the OEM manufacturer:
Aluminum Compartment Lids & Deck Inserts
Industrial Mechanical Specialties -- OEM pre-Genmar
69 Substation Circle
Midway, AR 72651
(870) 481-6275
Don't know that they have an internet presense but heres a Google search that might help.

You can make your own rod storage system pretty easily if you can't find an OEM. I made mine out of a sheet of the pink insulation and golf club tubes. Was meant to be a trial version and then use it as the pattern to cut it out of plastic but it has held up so well that I never replaced it. I think mine holds 8 right now and I have room to put a few more in without it being crowded and that's on just a 176DC. I'm still toying with the idea of adding an extension to mine but not sure if I want to give up that area for sitting while digging for a lure and tying line.
This is not an extension, but is a step. Could build extension same way, it's very strong.

I like that. Easily removable when you want. I wish that I could weld.
i have the port side rod rack from a 190 1996 i think it should be the same thing PM me and maybe we could work something out
