Attwood Marine Sure-Grip Rod Holder Mounting Bases, Extruded Aluminum

Overview

The Attwood Marine Sure-Grip is a mounting base range for Sure-Grip rod holder setups on boats where the mounting surface can vary from a flat gunwale area to square or round rail. These bases give anglers a practical way to place a compatible rod holder where it is useful on deck, in the cockpit, or along a rail without using one fixed mounting style for every location.

The range includes flush, flat rail, and clamp-on rail configurations. Verified fit options include 2 in. flat surfaces, square rail, and round rail up to 7/8 in. diameter, so the right version depends mainly on the surface available at the mounting point.

Each base is constructed from extruded aluminum, which keeps the fitting suitable for regular marine use while maintaining a clean, simple form at the rod holder mounting point.

Key features

• Mounting base range for Attwood Sure-Grip rod holder installations.
• Three base styles cover common boat mounting locations: flat surfaces, square rail, and round rail.
• Flush base option fits 2 in. flat surfaces where a low-profile mounting point is preferred.
• Flat rail base option fits square rail installations.
• Clamp-on rail base option fits round rail up to 7/8 in. diameter.
• Extruded aluminum construction gives the base a firm structure for rod holder support.
• Useful for adding or repositioning rod holder mounting points around fishing areas, cockpit rails, and gunwale locations.

Variants

This product is offered in multiple mounting base configurations for different surfaces around the boat.

The base type and surface fit change by variant. The extruded aluminum construction is consistent across the verified Sure-Grip mounting base range.

• 5071-3: Flush base, fits 2 in. flat surfaces. This version suits a flat mounting area where the rod holder base needs to sit close to the surface.
• 5072-7: Flat rail base, fits square rail. This version is made for square rail locations where a flat rail mounting base is the right match.
• 5074-3: Clamp-on rail base, fits round rail up to 7/8 in. diameter. This version works on smaller round rail locations and helps place a rod holder where drilling into a flat surface is not the preferred setup.

Installation and fit

Match the base to the actual mounting surface before installation. A flat deck or gunwale area calls for the flush base, a square rail calls for the flat rail base, and a round rail up to 7/8 in. diameter calls for the clamp-on rail base.

Check clearance for the rod holder angle, rod butt, reel, and nearby seating or rail hardware before fastening the base. On fishing boats with multiple rod positions, this helps keep rods accessible without crowding the cockpit or walkway.

Use cases on board

These bases are a good match for anglers adding Sure-Grip rod holder positions for drift fishing, pan fishing, crappie fishing, or general inshore use where simple rod placement matters. The different base styles make the range useful across small runabouts, aluminum fishing boats, pontoons, and utility skiffs with mixed rail and flat mounting areas.
