TACO Marine 4-Rod Transom Mount Rod Rack, 40-1/2 in Length, 1-7/8 in ID, Brushed Anodized Aluminum

Overview

The TACO Marine F31-3504BSA-1 is a 4-rod transom mount rod rack that turns unused transom space into practical rod storage for fishing boats. It holds four ready-to-fish rod and reel combos and uses a spline adjustment system so the rack angle can be set to match the transom.

This rack is built with brushed aluminum and fitted with white PVC liners, giving rods a cleaner contact surface inside each holder. The rod holder inside diameter is 1-7/8", which is a key fit point when checking rod butt size and clearance before mounting.

It is a useful upgrade for center consoles, bay boats, walkarounds, and fishing boats where gunwale space is already taken by flush-mount holders, cleats, or other gear. The transom location keeps rods organized and easy to reach without adding clutter across the cockpit.

Key features

• Holds up to four rods on the transom to free up gunwale and deck space.
• Spline adjustment system lets the rack angle be matched to the boat's transom.
• Brushed aluminum construction gives the rack a clean look for exposed cockpit and transom areas.
• White PVC liners help protect rod butts and keep each holder visually finished.
• 1-7/8" rod holder inside diameter helps confirm fit before installation.
• Useful for keeping multiple ready-to-fish combos organized during coastal fishing, trolling, or dockside rigging.
• Backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Installation and fit

This is a surface-mounted transom rack, so the mounting area should be checked for backing access, transom angle, hardware clearance, and interference with engines, swim platforms, ladders, trim tabs, and boarding gates. The adjustable spline makes it easier to position the holders at a workable angle instead of forcing the rack to follow one fixed transom shape.

Before drilling, dry-fit the rack with the rods and reels that will be used most often. Check that rod tips clear the outboard cowling and that reels do not hit the transom, seat backs, or other cockpit equipment when the boat is underway.

Use on board

The 4-rod layout works well for anglers who want extra storage for pre-rigged setups without covering the cockpit with loose rods. It can help keep trolling, casting, and backup combinations separated and ready while leaving existing flush holders available for active fishing.

Because it mounts at the transom, the rack is best suited to boats where that area stays accessible and does not interfere with boarding or engine service. It is a good match for owners who need more rod capacity but do not want to add a larger leaning post rack or modify the hardtop.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater trips, rinse the rack and liners with fresh water and let the area dry before covering the boat. Periodic checks of the mounting hardware and liner condition are worthwhile, especially on boats that see regular trailering, offshore chop, or heavy cockpit use.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
