I was hoping to put Scotty fly rod holders in the stock flush mount in my Oasis. I ordered the Scotty Gimbal adapter and found that it just free spins in the holder. Evidently there are locking pins needed that the Hobie flush mounts don't have.... Does anyone know if there are adapters available to lock the mounts in? The Scotty rep I spoke to had no clue....
Thank you for any tips you all might have.
Stilly, can you remove the actual factory rod holder? If so you can just put a screw with nut towards its base to hold the other holder in place.
Can you reach the rod holder if it's a formed part of the kayak, you can do the same again screw with nut towards the base.
How about this thought, a wood plug of same dia of holder but cut the top of the plug so it has the raised center strip. Slide the wood down the existing holder. You'll have to have the wood just over the size of the ID of the existing holder.
