    Z19 Co-angler

    Does anyone else have a problem with the rod holders for the co-angler fitting with the seat in the way in the slots closest to center console(the holes on the right)? The 3 holes on the left are ok but the ones on the right make you almost bend the rods to get them to sit right under the bungee. Is like this on other Z- series? I rode in a z-21 last year and don't remember this being a problem.

    I agree, the port seat could use to come over another 2 inches. Rods don't line up well, they cover the drink holder, and the hold down bungie location bends the rods slightly. Luckily none of this affects me.

    Yea, pretty much all those things. On point with the bungee too. I actually drilled holes in the gunwale wall and put a different bungee raised off the floor so it would not bend rods. Its helps a bunch but that seat....I mean really? They didn't test that before putting in the rod holders? Kinda baffling.

    Don't push the butt end of the rods all the way into the holes. Just partially. They will fit better. That's what I have my partner do in mine.

    Yes...... Same problem on my 2017... The only thing I really don't like about the layout....
    It is happening because of the seat size, imo.... Could be fixed by just a different seat back width or moving it over a little.....
