Mounting base plates for crappie rod holders

There should be no wires and access should be reachable through the rod boxes.

Got the two Tite-lok plates mounted in the back on my new P2 for my partner. (I like the inserts when not in use). Couldnt spread them out as far as I wanted to, due to the foam filled boxes underneath. Will have my fabricator buddy rework the rod holders to make up the offset. Still have the plates upfront to mount. The lock nuts on those will be a little tougher to reach through the rod boxes.

Yes Muddywaters, very painful. Picked the boat up from the dealer in June, and just finally drilled them a week ago. Done a lot of searching on-line and measuring with my fabricator buddy, but all my non-drilling options seemed cumbersome to me and would take extra time to set up and take down in between fishing spots. I just kept reminding myself that I bought the boat to crappie fish out of, and I just needed to mount them and move on. Once you drill that first hole, all of that goes away and its no big deal. I had the same issue on my last boat, because I was worried more about the resale value. Ended up, the guy buying it, really liked them.
