Mount from the top when you can't reach behind
Free shipping over $75 · ships in 3–7 business days
Best bought alongside something else. Small, light items like this cost nearly as much to ship as they do to make. Add it to a rod or lure order and it rides along in the same box — which is why the free-shipping threshold is $75.
A cast stainless plate with threads in it, so a rod or cup holder bolts down solid from above with no access underneath and no nuts to drop into the bilge. It also spreads the load, which is what stops a gelcoat spider crack around the cutout.
